I installed backdrop in english, and then later on ive decided to go multi-language and installed required translation modules and added another language.
Default installed post, card and page contents needed to be re-saved individually for translation tab to be visible.
But there is no way the translate tabs to be seen in System/Site Info, user account mails...etc
The only solution now seems to be to re-install backdrop cms from start with another language, or is there something im missing?
Note: I can translate individually from "user interface translation" but that is not the desired usage.

As I remember, you need to switch to another language, enter the information in this language into the fields, and save.
Tried, it changes for all languages.
There should be a button or tab somewhere in the site info page for translation and next to some fields should write "this is a multi language field".
I was wrong. But did it with the translation of the lines /admin/config/regional/translate
I know, i can translate from "user interface translate" but that is not the expected behaviour.
Some of it isn't intuitive.
Enable the locale module, which is needed for translating the interface, if you haven't already.
Download the language files if you haven't already: https://localize.backdropcms.org/. Import the language files by going to example.com/admin/config/regional/translate (change example.com to your website). Go to the import tab to import the file.
On the main tab you can also search for words that you want to translate. If you can't find them then go to the page where they appear, click on the language switcher in the top menu. Then go back to translate page and search again. Sometimes that helps for them to appear.
Backdrop (and Drupal) have different modules for handling translating content types and for translating the interface.
