Calculations - Dropdown values inside calculations should fetch locale values

We’ve observed an issue when using a dropdown field as an input in a calculation. If a dropdown value has a label that differs from its system name, the calculation consistently retrieves the system name rather than the localized label.

Example:

System Name: Audit

Label (Locale): Internal Audit

In this case, the calculation returns Audit instead of the expected Internal Audit.
