Some strings don't stay translated when switching units

[KatieWoe]

Test device Samsung Operating System Win 11 Browser Firefox Problem description For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/942. When the Units for volume are switched to dm^3 other strings that were translated may appear untranslated. In the density accordion box the word Density and the unit kg will appear in English even if they are translated when using L as the units Steps to reproduce

1. Go to the first screen
2. Change the language to one that translates both "Density" and "kg". Tajik is what I used
3. Observe the Density accordion box
4. Change the units to dm^3
5. Observe the Density accordion box

This looks like a case where the translation doesn't have translated strings for NEW yet-unpublished strings (e.g. densityReadoutDecimetersCubed).

Because it doesn't have these strings yet, it falls back to English.

@arouinfar since we're adding strings for this publication, should we be notifying translators? Is there anything for me to do here?

Thanks @KatieWoe.

@jonathanolson we have the ability to send notifications out to translators through the website, so we can notify them after Density is republished.

I opened #183 to notify translators, so I don't think there's anything else to do here, closing.
