Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/8154

What happened?

The placeholder "(none)" in the transfer menu that is shown when using the "cover overspending" or the "transfer to another category" option in the balance column on the budget page is always showing the English string instead of the actual translated string.

Screenshots (German and Spanish version) Image Image

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Open the budget page.
  2. Click on an entry in the balance column with a positive or negative value.
  3. Choose "cover overspending" or "transfer to another category".
  4. The default text "(none)" in the to/from field where you select the category is always showing the English string instead of the actual translated string.

Additional information

Translations for this string exist, but looking at the code it seems that the placeholder text in TransferMenu.tsx is a fixed string and not using the t() function call to get the translated string.

I currently don't have a dev environment set up on my computer so I can't submit a PR for this and properly test it myself.
