Advice: Using translated strings as keys is a very bad idea (sorry, my fault).
As soon as other language is used, dictionaries and lists are broken anyway (some values stored translated, some other stored untranslated...) I think it is better to allways use untranslated strings internally (in key, lists, fields), and then translate them at the view.
