      Long-term, low priority project. There are 10k properties in the base text properties file, and only 75% are unique. There are 64 properties of the value "Cancel":

      cancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefActionCreateCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefActionEditCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefCreateCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefDeleteCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefNameCreateCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefNameDeleteCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefNameInhertianceEditCancelButton = Cancel
      attributeDefNamePickerDefault.cancelText = Cancel
      cancel=Cancel
      configurationFilesAddEntryCancel = Cancel
      configurationFilesImportCancel = Cancel
      customUiConfigAddFormCancelButton = Cancel 
      dataFieldConfigAddFormCancelButton = $$cancelButton$$ 
      ...
      

      As long as the UI element is semantically the same in all language translations, there only needs to be one version of it. Just reuse the "cancel" property in code so there is less to translate.
