Hi Måns, This is probably overly simplistic, but when I look at the ActivitiesMacro, which is in, for some reason, the AddActivity tiddler, I see exactly three uses of the text "add" inside of string quote marks. There may be other uses of the word "add", but not inside of string quote marks. Changing those three instances changes the display everywhere that the AddActivity macro is used.
Some languages/applications try to put all label strings in one central location so that they can be conveniently ported to other culture. Maybe that sort of standard would be good for TW as well.
