Perhaps we should define and start to apply a naming convention for
this, eg.:

Id: untranslatable Key

Name: may have the same content in english, but is translatable, can be
used as parameter "This %s ..."

Label(s): gets as default a copy of Name, but should be adjusted to have
a mnemonic. In rare cases there migth be colissions of mnenoics in the
context of one or the other dialog.

Default:

Other Content?
