Ah, I forgot to add that I did the template override in a new theme component that I created in the Admin menu, not in a separate git repo.

I tried doing it as such, by adding the `theme-prefix` in the label:

> [@Add localizable strings to themes and theme components](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-localizable-strings-to-themes-and-theme-components/109867/1):
>
> Or, if you need to pass the translation key into another component, you can use the `theme-prefix` helper:
> 
> ```plaintext
> {{d-button label=(theme-prefix 'my_translation_key')}}
> 
> ```

…but it didn’t seem to work.

Is it possible to add locales/custom text in a theme/component created in the admin page without having to create a git repo?
