      Description

      Preferences | Output has options for "Prompt each time | Lineart | Text".
      These have i18n translations (currently only Spanish).
      This breaks if the Spanish text is saved as the selection but elsewhere compared with the English.
      For example: choosing 'Preguntar siempre' (prompt each time) gets no prompt with Export Image as EPS.

      Jalview Preferences file contents should not be language-dependent, as this would break on change of language (think French Canadian bioinformatician sharing files with an anglophone colleague!).
      The displayed text may be translated, but should be mapped to (and from) standardised values in the properties file.
