My concern was not only about translation, but also for english version. Start and stop are common action (start application, stop loading and so on) in Nautilus and other places of (GNOME) desktop. However, it seems that start and stop are also the verbs used for RAID, see command line programs raidstart(8) and raidstop(8) The man page[1] for those commands reports the following explanation: * raidstart : activates (starts) an existing 'persistent' md device * raidstop : turns off an md device, and unconfigures (stops) it To activate seems to me a better term for start action. How about to use Activate/Deactivate in UI?
