Comment:

 deryni, which field do you refer to with your phrase "that field"? I
 mentioned TWO fields: "IRC user name" field and "IRC nick name" field.

 And, labeling something that is known as "nickname" by almost everyone,
 labeling it with "username" makes things less consistent than labeling it
 with "nickname". Labeling nickname field with "username" label makes
 things very inconsistent, regardless of what description is put into the
 field value area, because the field label "username" already describes a
 field in an invalid way.

 It seems that this problem is not related to translations at all, but is a
 real wording defect, but I don't know for sure.
