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)
@stpaultim – You're right: my approach affects also the main menu. I guess, because menus are also considered as user interface (not as content). @findlabnet – If I didn't miss anything,...

Go to the account edit of the desired user. On the horizontal tab below "Region and Language," select "English" or another language. WFM.
Allow admin to select admin language seperate from front end language (multilingual)
@olaf - Sorry, but I don't think that works. I tried it and you are correct, with this change, I can switch from the English version to the German version of a page, without changing the entire...

Design / UX topics?
Some things that could get into the next release, if they make sense. Some of them are just ideas that need feedback.
A couple of text relelated ideas that MIGHT help make the layout system easier to use for some folks.

I don't think this one needs discussion. Just action. This has been very close to RTBC for a long time. Does anyone have any final comments? Can someone do a code review? I would really like to see this in 1.29.

Developer Meeting:
Provide more complete template suggestions for entities in a standardized way

Do we need a different solution that the one provided here?
Is this is an issue worth pursuing? Is there even interest in this idea?
I'd like to discuss options for moving #2231 forward. It concerns having a simplified array syntax for database details that will support complex passwords better than the current db url and simpler than the D7 way. There is a PR, but it is blocked when we get to trying to parse and write at install time. Greg (@klonos) proposed a better way of reading and writing settings.php by using token_get_all() in #6297 but that seems to have stalled. I wonder whether splitting off the task into just supporting a simplified array and documenting that it is supported without changing the install process is the way to go to get some movement on this?
