GroupGenerator

Plan to adapt this one

• Translate to English
• Replace manual addition of names with text area

Implementation details

• addName called on button press - to be removed
• generateGroup does the work
• updateCurrentAllocation - add a feature that shows a calculation of the number of groups as names are added

Add storage of group allocations

• Only store the current allocation - only one, not multiple
• Add "Save" button - on group allocation page
• Add "Load" button on initial page - but only if there is a saved allocation
  • On start, call isSaveGroupAllocation and change the display for the button
