Seems like only custom dialogues can be translated, not text in general,
such as Print or MsgBox.
I could of course create some arrays with translations and use them
depending on which UI language is selected, but it doesn't seem to be
possible for a macro to detect that. I only found things like
ThisComponent.CharLocale.Language, but that seems to be more about the
selected language for characters, and it doesn't change when I just change
the UI language.
