The character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu is untranslatable

The Bug:

The "/" symbol that exists between the value of the current and total characters within the "Report Chat" menu is untranslatable and is missing a translation key.

This is a problem because every other string throughout the game that contains the "/" symbol is translatable, therefore introducing an inconsistency. Below, I've constructed a table to visually demonstrate how and why this is a valid internationalization issue and to show the inconsistency.

Translation Key String Context Is the "/" symbol translatable?
item.minecraft.bundle.fullness %s/%s This string is used within bundle tooltips to show the fullness of a bundle. Yes
filled_map.level (Level %s/%s) This string is used within filled map tooltips to show the level of a filled map. Yes
item.durability Durability: %s / %s This string is used within item tooltips to show the durability of an item. Yes
sleep.players_sleeping %s/%s players sleeping This string is displayed within the action bar to show how many players are currently sleeping. Yes
N/A %s/%s This string is used within the "Report Chat" menu to show how many characters are currently present and the maximum number of them that are allowed. No

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Attempt to search for the existence of this string by using this search filter on the official Minecraft crowdin project.
  • Take note as to whether or not the page indicator symbol within the recipe book GUI is untranslatable.

Observed Behavior:

The character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu is untranslatable.

Expected Behavior:

The character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu would be translatable.

Code Analysis:

Code analysis by [Mod] Avoma can be found below.

The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 22w24a using Mojang mappings.

net.minecraft.client.gui.components.MultiLineEditBox.java
public class MultiLineEditBox extends AbstractScrollWidget {
   ...
   protected void renderDecorations(PoseStack poseStack) {
      super.renderDecorations(poseStack);
      if (this.textField.hasCharacterLimit()) {
         int n = this.textField.characterLimit();
         String string = this.textField.value().length() + "/" + n;
         MultiLineEditBox.drawString(poseStack, this.font, string, this.x + this.width - this.font.width(string), this.y + this.height + 4, 10526880);
      }
   }
   ...

If we look at the above class, we can see that the character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu is hardcoded, and as a result, is untranslatable. This is evident through the following line of code:

String string = this.textField.value().length() + "/" + n;
