Navigation Groups and enums

In Filament v4, the navigation group can now be a UnitEnum (docs).
So I created one like this:

enum AdminNavigationGroupEnum: string
{
    case ORDERS = 'Bestellungen';
}

enum AdminNavigationGroupEnum: string
{
    case ORDERS = 'Bestellungen';
}

and I’m using it like this:

protected static string | UnitEnum | null $navigationGroup = AdminNavigationGroupEnum::ORDERS;

protected static string | UnitEnum | null $navigationGroup = AdminNavigationGroupEnum::ORDERS;

However, Filament displays the label as "ORDERS" instead of "Bestellungen".
I know I could just use

AdminNavigationGroupEnum::ORDERS->value

AdminNavigationGroupEnum::ORDERS->value

,
but then what’s the point of allowing a UnitEnum in the first place?
