Hi Carolyn, Klaro is used to align DSpace with privacy requirements such as GDPR. Those requirements say that applications *must* ask for consent before storing any cookies in a user's browser. DSpace **requires** storing some cookies in a user's browser in order to maintain your session (after authenticating) and similar. This means that, regardless of whether Google Analytics is used, DSpace still must use Klaro in order to align with GDPR (and similar) regulations. Because DSpace strives to align with GDPR, Klaro is not removable at this time. (The only way to remove it would be to remove it's code, there is no configuration)
Regarding the missing "translations" for your Klaro popup, that bug was fixed in 7.5 (https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2031), but also popped up briefly during the 8.1 development (fixed here https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/3625). I'm guessing maybe you are running code where this bug was not yet fixed.
