By translators or users reporting back to us (like they did for
"Remove"). I don't think we have many places where we use the same
English phrase for different things.

Yes, translators will now need to translate two different terms that
happen to use the same phrase in English. For each language translators
will need to decide how to translate each of the terms, potentially but
not necessarily using the phrase, like the English "translation" does.
