	So far, we only discussed translating the built-in text of the administration interface that the survey participants and developers see; ~~that~~ part that is independent of any survey. Each survey can have one or more languages associated with it. The language of the survey can be independent of the one used in the interface. So care must be taken to offer the appropriate translations there as well.
