The following are explanations of text segments of the SuttaCentral website interface for people who are translating it into other languages. The complete English interface file can be found here. If you would like to translate the interface into your language, please see this thread.
Pages
If you look at the first part of the keys, you will see that some are related to complete pages. For example:
donate
These are all on the donate now page. This is different from the main Donation page
offline
This is the page for saving the site for use offline
Major Areas
Some of the text is on specific parts of pages.
suttaplex
This is an example of the suttaplex area:
dictionary
Most of the dictionary items can be found in two places. One is in the views setting when viewing a sutta. You have to scroll left and right to see everything:
There is also dictionary text on a dictionary result page, e.g. sīla
Individual items:
badge:aligned, badge:annotated, badge:legacy
These three items are used to describe translations.
“Aligned” means that the translations can be viewed side by side with the root text (e.g. Pali).
“Legacy” means that the translations cannot be viewed with the root text. Many of these translations are older, therefore the word “legacy.” However they aren’t necessarily old.
“Annotated” means that there are footnotes/end notes.
dictionary:adjacentTerms—Adjacent Terms
This is the heading in dictionary results that lists words that come before or after the the word searched for. For example if someone searched for “samādhi” the adjacent terms might be “samādisati, samādhāna, samādhika, samādhiyati”
dictionary:changePaliScriptDescription—This enables you to read the Pali text in various scripts.
“Various scripts” refers to the alphabets used to display the Pali. For example the Pali can be displayed using Roman letters (the default) or using Thai, Sinhala or Burmese alphabets.
dictionary:lineByLine—Line by line
This is the option to display the suttas with one line in English, one line in Pali, one line in English, one line in Pali, etc. This is an example of text displayed “line by line”:
dictionary:plain—Plain
This is the option to display only the translation without showing any Pali (compared to “Line by line”
dictionary:reference—References
“Refrences” are the paragraph or page numbers that are in original Pali manuscripts. They allow someone to “refer” to a specific place in the Pali text. There are many different numbering systems and this text is the heading for chosing which ones to display.
dictionary:textViewEnabled—{textView}-view is now enabled on applicable texts.
This is a popup message that displays when switching between “Plain”, “Side by side” and “Line by line” The {textView} part will be replaced with the language the user has chosen.
dictionary:viewTextualInfo—View textual information
(not sure what this is)
footer:licensing—Licensing
This is the copyright. (Perhaps “licensing” is used because some of the texts are free from copyright.)

“ReadingFaithfully” is the name of a website and should not be translated.
footer:sourceCode—Source code on Github
“Github” is a name and should not be translated.
