Hoi,
When the "other languages" box needs to become more flexible, it is a different problem that has nothing to do with the ability to understand what statements are made. At this time it is an absolute inability when there is no label in *YOUR* language.
Thanks,

That's probably a good approach, but would need the "other languages" box to
become more flexible, and include aliases. It's also strange to have it visually
separate from the thing you actually want to change. Not easy to get this right.
