Creating a Translation

The language translation interface allows any phrase that is used in SA to be selected and translated. Once a translation has been added for a particular phrase, it will appear translated in the interface. The top list contains phrases that have not been translated. The bottom list contains phrases that have been translated, and lists both the original English and the translated phrase.
