Drupal currently uses the term "administration page" to refer to any page which is not part of the rendered website, including such pages as node add and node edit. This is potentially confusing, and definitely confused me, because I would expect an administration page to typically only be available to somebody in the Administrator role. It would be better if there were a term that did not overload the term "administration."
1. Log on as an Administrator
2. Go to /admin/modules
3. Install all modules in the Multilingual section
4. Go to /admin/config/regional/language
5. If there is only English, add another language such as Spanish
6. Go to /admin/config/regional/language/detection
7. Check Account administration pages
8. Save
9. Log out
10. Log on as a content editor
11. Edit the profile
12. Locate the language section on the user edit page
Desired result: There is a field with has a name that would be meaningful to someone who is not an administrator
Actual result: There is a field "Administration pages language"
Come up with a more general term that would not overload the term administration with meanings that somebody who is not an administrator would not expect to apply to them. Replace "administration" with the more meaningful term wherever it is used in this overloaded sense.
I recognize that this would also impact contributed modules, such as Automated Logout - which uses the term for a setting in its UI - as well as documentation such as Setting the language for administration pages.
