You might check out a book called "The GUI Guide: International
Terminology for the Windows Interface", from
Microsoft Press. About two-thirds of the book is taken up with
translations of various GUI terms into several foreign
languages -- however, the remaining third contains
definitions of common terms like choose and select.
It's useful if you want to stay consistent with
Microsoft.

ISBN: 1-55615-538-7
Cost: $29.95
Includes disk with translation information.
