Translation without WPML

i have a problem with the translation from the acp_form()

The WP site from my customer uses an own function for the translation.

This is the Language-Database

$x = [];
$x['id_auto']  = [ 'de' => 'Auto', 'en' => 'Car'];
$x['id_gross'] = [ 'de' => 'Groß', 'en' => 'Big'];

…

in every php file it looks likes this
<?=x_('id_auto')?>

The function is simple

function x_($xid)
{
    global $x;
    if($_COOKIE['langx'] == 'en') { $x_lang = 'en'; } else { $x_lang = 'de'; }
    return $x[$xid][$x_lang];
}

But now he wants the translation even for the acp_form() and he dont want to use WPML.

Any simple (maybe dirty) ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
