[Anthony Harrington <1379531@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My memory's a little fuzzy on the matter, so do excuse me if I'm about
to write a load of nonsense, but I remember coming across this a few
years ago, and in the end left it be for English UK for lack of
certainty.

At the time I remember considering the concept - Imagine you are
scanning a document into a pdf with 6 A4 'sides' (3 sheets of paper) but
they are numbered within like: frontpage, index, page 1, page 2, page 3
and page 4.

On your 3rd sheet of paper, page 4 (of the work) is actually on side 6.

Without digging into it back then, I presumed the strings were
intentionally written in as they were to account for the non-
interchangeablity between the three terms.

Each sheet is made up of a front side and a back side of course, and you
may find yourself wishing to combine different sides (e.g. sides 3-6
inclusive in the example above contain the actually information, which
is equivalent to asking for 'pages 1 - 4'?)

Alternatively, whether 'page' was used to mean 'sheet' instead, I can't
recall.

Bug description:
  Combine sides
  and
  Combine sides (reverse)

  look like a German speaker with poor English mistranslated 'Seiten' as
  'sides' rather than 'pages'?
