Background

Hover Help language for the High School & College School Finders (Apply & IA) needs to be revised to better instruct users to narrow down their search to within 25 possible response options. Currently there is a bug which indicates they should use the Up & Down arrow keys to navigate the large list of possible search results, but the system only displays a max number of 25 schools.

Due to accessibility requirements, we must have this hover help information and we must translate it to Spanish - in this Legacy version of Apply and IA. 

1) Address BUG:  Update the instructions in the hover help to better instruct users to narrow down the search results return because 25 results are all we get. Ensure language is updated in both the HS and College school finder modals for Apply and IA.  Ensure the spanish translation is included in the requriements.  Keep text length under maximum (100 characters)? 

2) Create new JIRAs to improve the School Finder function in NEWAPPLY, NEWINTL applications.
