Answer 1

I think you need to have two arrays with the same keys and that's it. If speech only about dropDown. How many areas are there. And you can have a method in the model that will return one or another array depending on the language. Or if you need it somewhere else, you can put it in a helper or even assemble the widget. Here it is already necessary to use it according to the project - and arrange it.
