Using non-translated languages

The Mine Action Programme is using IMSMA^NG 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 IMSMA^NG 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.
