Well, IMHO, not at a "stable" release. Such string changes would belong to "feature" releases, where language teams are given a window of time to adapt their translations. There was a thought of using the "context" feature/marker, as described in GNU gettext, to disambiguate such cases: eg. have Cancel/@verb, Cancel@/state Cancel/@operation , fed to translators on different entries. -- Say NO to spam and viruses.
