Actually for the present i18n infrastructure, you just need to put the

will find and load
them for the next start.

It's always good to check "in activity" situation before doing the
translation. :)
The Sugar live system should server here. (I didn't touch it for some long time.
Guess it should be enough for you to play around first.)
