Steps to reproduce
- Set PowerToys language to Spanish.

- Click "Reasignar accesos directos" and then click on "Agregar reasignación de acceso directo".
- Observe the UI layout in the dialog.
✔️ Expected Behavior
- No controls overlapping each other
- No truncated labels/buttons
❌ Actual Behavior
In Spanish UI, the dialog layout breaks:
- Text and/or dropdown labels appear truncated
- Some UI elements appear overlapped / misaligned, giving a “superposition” effect
- Overall the dialog looks correct functionally, but visually incorrect

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Keyboard Manager dialog using Spanish, Windows 11 24H2, 125% scaling, and the listed display settings. Inspect the dialog layout and localized labels first; done means no controls overlap, labels or buttons are not truncated, and the dialog remains visually correct in the reported configuration.
