>Interesting. It sounds like the appropriate cognate in English would be "File," but that's used too often as a noun to also use it as a verb.

Our word for "file" is "zavedi", but it also means "seduce", another possible word could be "odloži", but it also means "postpone"...

That's the trouble with languages. English recycles the words too much, so they may mean lots of things, depending on context - and a button with just one word is not a rich context to guess the meaning from. I can imagine one could ask "a metal file?" or something like that. I've had an interesting thing in Hungary: we've had an "OK" button, and had to replace it with "O.K.", because "ok" means "a reason", and someone asked "a reason for what?".

Press center? Sure, I will :)
