 Oh? So they ARE supposed to be equal and the problem is with Google and
 not with those tables. I'm greatly relieved!
 Next question:  Why hasn't Google been instructed? How can we give it a
 refresher course in linguistics?

They don't have computational linguistics for any language other
than English AFAIK.  So, I do not recommend trying that.

  Really, you'd better use both :((

 You are cruel!

 Button Phrasing. Write button labels as imperative verbs, for
 example Save, Print. This allows users to select an action with
 less hesitation. An active phrase also fits best with the
 button's role in initiating actions, as contrasted with a more
 passive phrase. For example Find and Log In are better buttons
 than than Yes and OK.

Isn't this only about *English* button labels?

I think no, it's right about *buttons*.

But we should translate Print... in File menu as infinitive, chaap
or chaap-kardan, IMPO.
