About User Interface Translation

Even though you have built all of your forms in a language other than English, you may find that some parts of your application are still in English.  These text strings, which include the text for error messages , the log-in screen, and menu optionsand other default responses, are called "user interface strings."  It is possible to translate these for each application, or to use translations that other people have used for your language.

...

If you are deploying your application in multiple languages, then you will need to add user interface translations for each language.
