[Evergreen-general] Adding a language to the translation feature in the web client

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hi Linda,

The steps Jane lists are what we did to get French added as an option  
to the drop downs in the admin interfaces to add translations.  It  
also adds the language to the locale switcher in the upper right corner.

For me, I have the staff client set to English (US) and I have English  
(US), English (Canada), and French (Canada) available in both the  
local switcher in the upper right and in the drop downs for the "Apply  
Translations" pop up in the admin pages.  (I can't speak to what  
displays in the drop down if I set my locale in the upper right to  
something other than English (US) as we don't currently have things  
set up to use different languages for the web client, just the OPAC.)

Hope this helps,

Jennifer
