In Serbian translation we are ignoring "on/off" and "toggle". Even in
English those are just stop words that do no carry new information to the
users.

For example, messages like "Toggle Line Numbers" or "On/Off Line Numbers"
usually appear next to some checkbox or on the toggle button so
information about double-state is reflected by the GUI and we can
translate it just as "Line Numbers" (in Serbian Latin "Brojevi redova",
full translation would be "Uključi ili isključi brojeve redova" which is
unusable).

On the contrary, "Enable watch" can be translated as is (in Serbian Latin
"Uključi nadgledanje").
