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

[Linda Jansová]

Hi Jane, Jennifer and everyone else interested in translations,

We have tried repeating the steps but to no avail.

However, after digging a bit deeper into the issue, we have found out 
that there is a specific CREATE_TRANSLATION permission and also related 
UPDATE_TRANSLATION and DELETE_TRANSLATION permissions. Our admin account 
did not have these permissions granted by default and therefore only 
English showed up in the translation dropdowns within the web client. 
Adding the permissions to relevant permission groups (not only to the 
admin ones) has sorted the issue.

So now everything seems to work as expected :-).
