Hm, do you know if having two sets of standardized text (a long form and a short form) would pose the same problems?

The properties in question are the entry management links, like so:

"Previous Entry" => "Previous"
"Next Entry" => "Next"
"Add to Memories" => "Memory"
"Track This" => "Track"
"Untrack This" => "Untrack"
"Tell Someone" => "Tell"
"Leave a comment" => "Comment"

In all cases, the first is the one currently used by all layouts; the second is one we're considering as a second set to allow layouts to use, if they need more space in the footer bar.

(And if you think this should be a top-level entry, I can do that as well)
