I did this configuration on commcare. My request is not to translate the form. It's how to change the first menu of commcare in the tablette were I have (start, incomplete, save, synch with server and log out of commcare to commencer, incomplète, sauvegarder, synch avec server et quitter commcare). Thank you for your support  
Best!

In order to translate the first menu items, you will need to add the keys  
to the translation sets for the keys which start with

home.

from this page:

> <https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-translations/blob/master/historical-translations-by-version/2.36.0-messages_en-2.txt>

using the process linked in the page that Aliza sent previously.
