Oh i understand the problem and potential issues, like calling a car a Nova 
in Mexico :)
I've been meaning to write myself a tool though that would allow me to 
construct a database of string and generate property files from them in 
multiple languages. It won't always work (particularly with string that 
have replaceable variables) but your "dialog_positive_button_label" is a 
good example of ones that will work.

Actually if I made the tool open to others, I might get some help with 
people that are fluent in other languages helping to maintain it.

Based on the recent exploration of the Android OS source, I suspect that the 
Google team (your team?) actually does have some sort of database like 
that... some of the translations may even have been run through the 
translator to generate them.

Anyway, i'f I actually get around to building it, I'll let people know :)
