[Building Sakai] Dynamic Page Localization

I have a fix to a long-standing internationalization issue,
localization (translation) of page titles, but there is a small catch
that I'd like an opinion and vote on. The current solution for
localizing page titles involves using the localized tool title as the
page title, with a few exceptions (i.e. iframe & news are excluded,
and pages with more than one tool are excluded). This works very well
for most site pages, but it also highlights some differences between
administration page and tool titles. When localized, the admin page
titles become very wordy. I'd like to propose shortening the default
admin tool titles to match the *existing* default admin page titles as
follows (primarily removing redundant language):
Admin: User Editor -> Users
Admin: Alias Editor -> Aliases
Admin: Sites Editor -> Sites
Admin: Realms Editor -> Realms
Admin: On-Line -> Online
Admin: Memory/Cache Tool -> Memory
Admin: Archive Tool -> Site Archive
Job Scheduler Based on Quartz -> Job Scheduler
Admin: Become User -> Become User
Of course, these are just the defaults, and they can always be further
changed/localized at any local institution by modifying properties
files in the usual way.
Thoughts?
