Steps to reproduce the issue

In a mult-lingual site with sample data:
Go to Content -> Categories and select Uncategorised
In the Category edit form set Language to All.
Select the Associations button in the Toolbar - There is a Notice
Select the Help button in the Toolbar

Expected result

A Help page popup

Actual result

A 404 popup

System information (as much as possible)

Additional comments

The Help key is shown in the popup url bar: JHELP_COMPONENTS__CATEGORY_EDIT
I think it should be JHELP_COMPONENTS_CONTENT_CATEGORY_EDIT

In that very specific circumstance I can confirm the problem
No idea how to fix it myself but its probably

joomla-cms/administrator/components/com_categories/src/View/Category/HtmlView.php

Lines 261 to 271 in 82a8521

    
           // Compute the ref_key 
        
           $ref_key = strtoupper($component . ($section ? "_$section" : '')) . '_CATEGORY_' . ($isNew ? 'ADD' : 'EDIT') . '_HELP_KEY'; 
        
           // Check if the computed ref_key does exist in the component 
        
           if (!$lang->hasKey($ref_key)) 
        
           { 
        
           	$ref_key = 'JHELP_COMPONENTS_' 
        
           				. strtoupper(substr($component, 4) . ($section ? "_$section" : '')) 
        
           				. '_CATEGORY_' . ($isNew ? 'ADD' : 'EDIT'); 
        
           }

I think the situation is worse than I thought. After selecting the Associations button in the Toolbar with Languages set to All (I keep forgetting to do that) the page comes back with this in the url bar:
http://localhost/j4b4d/administrator/index.php?option=com_categories&view=category&layout=edit&id=2com_content
so it has lost the extension= before com_content. The other buttons should not work properly either, although they appear to.
