Translators often dont translate verbatim and they shouldnt be.
They usually use the most appropriate wording.
That said ,even if the menu ends up longer for a translation, this is
not a permanent menu item and is displayed only when a restart is
required.
Which is better than having an ambiguous menu item which user would not
easily understand.
[If the user notices the start icon turning red , there is no indication
why.]
A red Restart required can be mistaken even for system burning up and
hence requiring a restart too. ;)
