Does the backend support a name for the "type" of country subdivision e.g. province or territory instead of state? Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories.

Canada has two official languages, English and French. I have provided both sets but would the backend hold both --- default English values and an optional i18n (french) set of values --- or would people who wish to operate GNUmed in french need to replace the values in the bootstrap?
