Description
In dataverse settings, in edit - general information there is a 'Description' filed. This field is not a subject of translate actions.
When you have multiple languages on your instance you have to choose one for this field or add permanent text in 2 (or more) languages.
It would be nice to be able to translate value of this field, like in languages bundle file.

Compare how existing translation actions handle editable values; done means the Description can have language-specific values without requiring permanent text in multiple languages.
