      The Bug:

      The "@" symbol used for the default names of command blocks is untranslatable and is missing a translation key.

      This is a problem because every other string throughout the game that contains a singular symbol such as ";" and "=", is translatable, therefore introducing an inconsistency.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      • Attempt to search for the existence of this string by using this search filter on the official Minecraft crowdin project.
      • Take note as to whether or not the default symbol used for the names of command blocks is untranslatable.

      Observed Behavior:

      The default symbol used for the names of command blocks is untranslatable.

      Expected Behavior:

      The default symbol used for the names of command blocks would be translatable.

      Code Analysis:

      Code analysis by Avoma can be found below.

      The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.18.1 using MCP-Reborn.

      net.minecraft.world.level.BaseCommandBlock.java
      public abstract class BaseCommandBlock implements CommandSource {
         ...
         private static final Component DEFAULT_NAME = new TextComponent("@");
         ...

      If we look at the above class, we can see that the default symbol used for the names of command blocks is hardcoded, and as a result, is untranslatable. This is evident through the following piece of code:

      new TextComponent("@")
