View source for Using non-translated languages

The Mine Action Programme is using {{IMSMANG}} in English but the '''Regional''' settings on some computers are not English. The users would like to have the settings to non-English due to other applications. The user interface of {{IMSMANG}} will in these cases be in English but options of single-select (enumeration values) will be shown in ''raw IMSMA English''. In the description below Albanian is used as example.
