>This is risky, IMHO: You may have the same word or phrase, with different meanings, in different context, and they may require different translations.

There are times when creating lookups for strings I had tried a small string.h example made the initial typing tedious I had to create a constant everytime I wanted to write a string and then the constant names themselves became cumbersome.

But generally they will be in context rather than singles, like "Right Hand", "Set Clock"

Guess so.
