This all suggests that, in addition to having intro pages in
various natlangs, the interface to the conlang management engine
needs itself to be both polyglot and expansible, i.e. anybody
could volunteer to translate the buttons and labels' text into
a new language and do so online without making work
for the lead programmer to plug the new language's labels
into the code.   Eventually the interface would also be available
in the conlang itself.
