There is always some delay before localizers pick up new localized strings. I don't think testing a specific locale is a good way to assess if the UI is localizable or not, especially in Nightly.

If you want to check if the UI is localizable, go to about:config, create the string preference intl.l10n.pseudo, with the value accented. Then load about:debugging. All strings should be 30% longer with duplicated accented characters. (note: this only works with UIs using fluent, don't try to use this for other DevTools UIs).

If you find strings that are leftover, then it's valid bug for us, but I can't see any here. Can you check?

You are right, I just tried on an Arabic Nightly build and attached the screenshot with the results.
