Can I urge everyone to add some stuff about consistency in the wording of
menuitems. As I was preparing the Swedish translation (Yes, it is getting
ready) I noted that we use different words for the same thing in every
other place and btw. is it GNOME or gnome? As an example, we tend to mix
preferneces, settings, configuration and setup. This may be ok for English
but in Swedish it is a pain since we have words for each of these but some
of them are less used, almost considered obsolete. Therfore we should
select one word, put that in the style guide and stick with it.
