I didn't want to include the translated versions because we'd need to start caring about locale, and some like Switzerland and Belgium even have multiple translations since they have multiple official languages.\r\nSo, my recommendation is to translate the generic label using your framework's string translation, providing the versions for the locales you use."}}
