+1 - this would help a lot, especially with duplicates occuring now.

For translating I'd prefer to have all 748 tile phrases in the Etoys-pot. 
Not all of the duplicates in English might be duplicates in other 
languages as well. Tiles are for kids primarily, other phrases rather for 
average computer-users. These two groups might speek different tongues.
