Not sure if these strings are provided by LibreOffice or by the printer driver.
There is the same problem with the paper tray dropdown list.

Best regards. JBF

Indeed, grepping through the codebase I find no UI strings as such.

As I can see, this is the function where the printer info is gathered from CUPS:
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/unx/generic/printer/printerinfomanager.cxx?r=85c2ed8d#176

If you have a lozalized distro setup, you could check printer settings there, in an Ubuntu 22.04 I do see Settings -> Printers; <cog> -> Printing Options; Page Setup -> Two-sided (this is more or less the same as Duplex in LO) and Paper Source (Paper tray in LO).

I managed to check this in a localized Ubuntu setup with stock LO, and while I didn't see the Duplex option for the random printer I installed there, I found paper source, and it was in English even in the OS.

Based on that experience, closing as NOTOURBUG, but if someone finds contradicting evidence, feel free to reopen after adding further details.
