IMHO, it is a commonly used technical term, and that is why we
do not even translate it. Every reasonable admin known what is meant!
With your change:
- title: 'Syslog',
+ title: gettext('System Log'),
we now need to translate "System Log" to >20 different languages,
and I am quite sure those translation makes it less clear what
it actually refers to.
