Turning off Enfold back-end translation!?

Totally understand the issue but most people want to translate both front and backend. Those are obviously people who are simply using enfold with the one or two languages they know so i see your problem when it comes to managing 9 languages.

I think the easiest way might be to trick wordpress into thinking that there is no translation file when in backend. You might want to try the following:

If you are using a child theme copy the following function to your child themes function.php file, otherwise you need to edit it directly in your themes function.php file at line 241:

if(!function_exists('avia_lang_setup'))
{
	add_action('after_setup_theme', 'avia_lang_setup');
	function avia_lang_setup()
	{
		if(!is_admin())
		{
			$lang = apply_filters('ava_theme_textdomain_path', get_template_directory()  . '/lang');
			load_theme_textdomain('avia_framework', $lang);
		}
	}
}

This change in the function (I have added the is_admin() clause) will tell wordpress to find the translation file when in your frontend but not when you are in the admin area. Let me know if this helps
