Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for your reply and informaiton.
Yes, we will leave kdump itself untranslated as it is a proper noun.
With statuses, are these same as SELinux statuses -- the values in this 
field map directly to what is shown on host's terminal?
(and if so, better to leave them English, so that users can recognize 
them easily?)

Kind regards,

Yuko
