Had a quick look, while normally I use QGIS in english, if I start in
dutch I see in debug msg:

../src/app/main.cpp: 1201: (main) [2ms] loading of qt translation failed
/usr/share/qt5/translations/qt_nl

So (as told in the stackoverflow answer) you really need Qt5's OWN
translations besides the QGIS translations to have these things translated.

Searching for qt_nl.qm on my machine it was missing, BUT I found a
qt_de.qm... so starting qgis with '--lang de' I have the right button I
think (see german vs dutch screenie).

So conclusion:
- IF qt-translations is installed, you should not see english OK buttons,
- UNLESS there is just no qt translation (apparently not for dutch/nl,
we should work on that!)

So in the case of osgeo4w, it looks like a packaging issue?
