it should be escaped in generated in Curl code like this

 curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://localhost:5034/api/admin/translations?trash=0&page%5Bsize%5D=2&filter%5BinDomain%5D=admin_client&sort%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=id&sort%5B0%5D%5Border%5D=asc'

I am not seeing any URL encoding happening for query parameters, so I think this applies to more than just square brackets.
