Description
Expected Behavior
All dialogs are unlocalized
Steps to Reproduce
Try to close application window. Leaving dialog uses dialog.showMessageBoxSync (src/main/index.js:361). There is no way to get it localized like menu. Please, use wrapper function for generate string for localization as in gettext().

Research direction
Start in src/main/index.js at the dialog.showMessageBoxSync call around line 361, then inspect how menu strings use the localization wrapper such as gettext(). Identify the application dialogs that still bypass localization and route their displayed strings through the same approach. Done means dialogs, including the close-application dialog, display localized text.
