As I mentioned to Bob, there is some combination of deleting local cache, logging out, deleting system cache (using the data administration option) that sometimes works, but not always.  I suppose most users won't be changing languages on the fly as we do, but it is difficult to demonstrate the capability.

I recommend working with the user interface here.. just click the blue
globe-like icon next to each element in lists. I have tested on
tanzania server where they have english and swahili and it works fine
there.

If you use the database you will have to clear the application cache
in data admin module, yes. Nothing else should be required.

Removing the "default" english translations from the translation table
is recommended (if they are there). They are not in use anymore.
