Thanks for your report.

In xkeyboard-config the string representing the first of those layout variants looks like this:

"Hungarian (101/QWERTY/comma/dead keys)"

And that string has a Hungarian translation:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/xkeyboard-config/+pots/xkeyboard-config/hu/515

However, the gnome-control-center developers seem to think that commas look better than slashes to separate the various aspects of the layout:

"Hungarian (QWERTY, 101-key, comma, dead keys)"

But by splitting and recreating the string that way, they end up with a different string for which no translation exists. And that's most likely the explanation for the other untranslated layout names as well. And it's not only affecting users with a Hungarian locale — I see those strings untranslated when using a Swedish locale, for instance.

So it's a bug in gnome-control-center.

@Viktor: It would be great if you could call upstream's attention to this by submitting an issue:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues

If you do, can you please post the URL to the upstream issue here for tracking purposes.

(Possibly it's a bug in the gnome-desktop package. But let's report it to gnome-control-center, and have upstream sort it.)
