Hi Michi,

yes, ++1 for that.
I think the idea is not new but the big problem is the coordination to do 
that.
WIKI could be a good step to get further.
We need general labels for eg
- Adress
- Money
- general actions (save/cancel ...)
- category-items (category/tree/single item/list ...)

these are some get up in my mind spontaneous, there will be more ...
There should be a (alphabetic sorted) list of english expression for each 
category so adding expressions is simple.

Let's grow :-)
