How should we create the translatable names for the experiments #58

For the combo box, should we only make 'Experiment' translatable? make a string pattern? Because surely we wouldn't want translators to be able to change the [SGx,SGz] nor the number of the experiment. How would those names be in RTL languages?

Good question @AgustinVallejo. 'Experiment' should be the only translatable part of the first six options. However, we can use a PatternStringProperty that allows RTL translators to reorder the information to something like {{ExperimentType}} {{Number}} 'Experiment'.
