This also applies to the “Next” button in the custom wizard plugin which (re)uses that translation key.
I found a previous similar discussion about that here Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙 - #661 by angus
I can repro this on a brand new instance on tests-passed without the custom wizard plugin so it’s a core thing.
Looks like the exact same thing happen here, where the “Next”, “Maybe Later”, and “X of X” step progress text isn’t getting overridden.
I tried using different replacement text besides the asterisks as well, and the text still wasn’t getting overridden, so this seems to be happening regardless of what the replacement text actually is.
Using the default setup wizard, no custom wizard plugin.

Hopefully this information helps resolve this issue.
