Hover event text does not support translatable components

[viveleroi]

Expected behavior

Hover events do not appear to support translatable components.

// text.foo = "foo"
Component.translatable("text.foo")
  .hoverEvent(HoverEvent.hoverEvent(HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT,
    Component.translatable("text.foo")))

The translation was registered with the store:

final var store = MiniMessageTranslationStore.create(Key.key("mynamespace:mykey"));
store.register("text.foo", "foo");
GlobalTranslator.translator().addSource(store);

Paper 1.21.5

Observed/Actual behavior

The code produces "foo" when sent to a player, but "text.foo" when hovered.

Steps/models to reproduce

Use the code above.

If the same issue is present when you run the component through the translator manually you should open this issue on Adventure.

I don't follow. How would I do this manually? It's specifically in the hover event that this fails.
