Description
There are only a few strings in wf-shell, but they should be translated.
The currently designated left and right boxes for the panel should be swapped to start and end as to properly reflect the user's language, as mentionned in #306.
Additionally, with glyphs carrying different meanings for certain cultures, icons should be accounted for.
With WCM recently getting localisation with gettext, now’s probably the time :)

Research direction
Start by locating wf-shell's user-facing strings and the panel code that currently uses the left and right boxes. Read how WCM recently added gettext localization, then determine the scope for translating these strings, renaming the directions to start and end, and accounting for culturally different glyph meanings. Done means the relevant strings and icons support localization consistently.
