These are referring to titles of screens, not actual filenames.  Even
so, I agree they really aren't needed to be translated.

The hard part of combining these is that the strings can be mixed and

yeah that screen is all just one big string passed into a textbox,
with different segments with little translatable pieces in them.  the
: is there for asthetic purposes.  it lines up the columns.

you can send them to me if you want or a tracker bug, both work fine for me.
