Conclusion
Overall the ability to select a language and have multiple languages for a single project is a very useful one. It allows you to create systems that are useable by users of different languages very easily.
Unfortunately, some important flaws make it almost impossible to use effectively by the same users in multiple languages. That means you can have users in France, for example, using it in French, and Users in Spain using it in Spanish. But when French users look at Folders edited by Spaniards, and vice versa, the result is not quite what you may expect. The areas that will not be translated are:
  • To do and Watch lists
  • Radio Group options (and data could be lost by editing in different languages)
  • List or dropdown options (unless you do this manually very carefully)
