Bulk import via spreadsheet fails when not using EN locale

When using the bulk-import-template with eg a French locale, the import fails. The importer can't find the archival_record_levels:

ERREUR Introuvable: 'Series' ne figure pas dans la liste archival_record_level; Manquant valide niveau Description
ERREUR Introuvable: 'Sub-Series' ne figure pas dans la liste archival_record_level; Manquant valide niveau Description
ERREUR Introuvable: 'Item' ne figure pas dans la liste archival_record_level; Manquant valide niveau Description

Expected Behavior

The import template works regardless the locale used

Current Behavior

The import fails when not using the EN locale

Possible Solution

Modify the archival_record_levels in the XSL or CSV to the (in my case) French translations:

Série instead of Series
Sous-série instead of Sub-Series
Pièce instead of Item ...

Better would be to modify the template and have the controlled value lists use the Values instead of the Translations (use 'item' instead of Item/Pièce, 'subseries' instead of Sub-Series/Sous-série, ...

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Change the locale to FR
Prepare the bulk import XSL
Try to import

It's been some time since this issue had been reported; I don't know if it has been addressed in the mean time (I'm just reporting from a user perspective). Yet, testing with ArchivesSpace-4.3.1, I'm observing different (and I think better) behaviour. The CSV importer now seems to accept either:

the controlled value key (e.g. series)
the controlled value label of the language selected in the AppConfig[:locale] config

I've tested with different standard ArchivesSpace languages, and behaviour seems consistent.

Important: it's the language configured in the config file that's being used for the controlled value label lookups, regardless of which language has been set in the application.

This definitely looks like an improvement to me: both keys and labels are accepted (if the values can be found in the locale set in the config file).
