Thibault, in English it's okay to say something was "installed 10:08 AM"
or "removed 4:52 PM" -- especially when it's in a UI rather than a
sentence. (You can see this on a flight arrivals board, for example.
<http://www.bloomberg.com/photo/u-k-pensions-strike-fails-to-disrupt-
flights-/127859.html>) And usually, if it's easy to remove words from an
interface, the interface is better off without them.

Maybe in some languages it is just weird to not have a preposition in
those cases. If so, it's fine for those translations to have one. Just
as long as each language either does it or doesn't do it consistently.
