Generally speaking, we need not only to translate the user-interface (ie to
produce a german or a french version of a stack) but also to produce multilingal
stacks and to let the user choose in which langage the stack must display.
It means that either there are no english words in the user-interface or that
they are grouped together in a customizable container so that we can switch by
script from a langage to an other one.
