Description
I've created a WSL profile for RockyLinux-9.5, and set the Path translation to "WSL (C:\ -> /mnt/c)".
But when I right-click on a path in File Explorer and "copy address", then right-click in Windows Terminal to paste, no translation happens?
I'd love if it worked. Currently I'm using a zsh binding to fix the path after pasting.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with a RockyLinux-9.5 WSL profile using the “WSL (C:\ -�> /mnt/c)” path translation setting. Start by tracing the path handling between File Explorer’s copied address and Windows Terminal paste; done means the Windows path is translated to the expected WSL path without the zsh workaround.
