Description of the need
This is a sibling issue to #5350, and this is a related issue against Drupal 7 core: Dynamic permissions cannot be automatically assigned to or removed from roles.
The 3 content types that come OOTB with a default Backdrop installation all have these permissions already granted to the Editor role, but that is not the case when creating new content types:

When creating a new content type, these permissions need to be manually adjusted each time. With #900, we have improved the UX in Backdrop, since you don't need to navigate away from the content type creation/edit form in order to assign the required permissions to the various roles, nor do you have to search through a HUGE list of permissions to find the correct ones ...this issue here is to improve the UX a big further, by allowing some sensible defaults (that way, site builders will have to scroll/click less when configuring content types).
Proposed solution
- Automatically grant these permissions to the Editor role.
- Perhaps add a setting for this in
admin/config/people/roles, similar to the "The role that will be automatically assigned new permissions whenever a module is enabled:" setting for admin roles. - Also throw a notice/info message in the node creation form, letting the user know that automatic permissions assignment has happened, and that they might want to review/tweak them as needed.

There is a Drupal 7 contrib module that "lets the administrator see all administration pages in her preferred language" and which could be ported to Backdrop: https://www.drupal.org/project/...
Allow admin to select admin language seperate from front end language (multilingual)

Go to the account edit of the desired user. On the horizontal tab below "Region and Language," select "English" or another language. WFM.
