Those tags appear only in the listinfo.html template for a list. The
<MM-Options-Form-Start> and <MM-Form-End> tags generate only HTML <FORM
...> and </FORM> tags respectively and require no translation.

The text generated by the <MM-Editing-Options> tag should be translated
to the list's preferred_language or the language selected by the user at
the top of the listinfo page.

See the definition of FormatEditingOption in Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py
and also the definition of list_listinfo in Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py.

Note that if you change the English text in FormatEditingOption(), you
will break all the i18n translations of this text unless you update the
respective message catalogs.

Probably a better way to deal with this is to just replace the
<MM-Editing-Options> tag in the listinfo.html template with the desired
result. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9> for info on where
to put edited templates.
