Bug description
Cloth Config labels are not translated when opening mod configuration screens via Mod Menu 17.0.0‑beta.2.
Instead of localized text, raw translation keys are displayed (for example: text.cloth-config.reset_value).
This affects configuration screens for mods such as BetterF3, which rely on Cloth Config.
Is this a crash?
No — UI / localization issue.
How can you reproduce it?
Launch Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric.
Install:
Mod Menu 17.0.0‑beta.2
Cloth Config 21.11.153
BetterF3 17.0.0 (or another mod using Cloth Config)
Open Mod Menu.
Click the config button for the mod.
Observe untranslated labels, e.g.:
text.cloth-config.reset_value
What other mods is this issue happening with?
Observed with:
Likely affects any mod using Cloth Config when opened through Mod Menu.
Does this happen when only this mod is installed?
Requires:
Mod Menu 17.0.0‑beta.2
Cloth Config
A mod providing a Cloth Config screen
If Mod Menu is removed and configs are opened in‑game instead, translations display correctly.
Expected behavior
Buttons should display localized text, for example:
Reset value
Actual behavior
Buttons display untranslated localization keys:
text.cloth-config.reset_value
Other information

Minecraft: 1.21.11

Screenshots / Videos
Screenshot attached showing untranslated GUI text.
Log file
No crash occurs.
Logs contain warnings that some mods expect a later Mod Menu version, but the untranslated UI occurs even without those mods.
Additional notes
This appears to be a regression or missing integration in the Mod Menu 17.x beta series, where Cloth Config GUI elements are not properly resolving translations through the Mod Menu config screen.
