But who spoke on real time? As long as there are isolated string like
"view", which are not classified in any way to take in account
differences in other languages, there is nothing that can be done
(until we have intelligent machines, of course). However, the humans
that program the machines are intelligent, and, I believe, can
distinguish between verbs and nouns. ;)

To me it seems a very simple thing. When somewhere in a module someone
adds a "view" string (this is an example), it should classify it as a
"verb" or a "noun".

Then is up to the translating team of each language to decide if the
translated string would be the same for verbs and nouns or would be
different.
