"Eines wiederholen" sounds not very professional. I would make that
"Eintrag wiederholen". When making translations, I would emphasize
professional sound. Some translations I have come across (non vlc
related) even sound like Baby-speech. An interface should simply be
font sensitive. No sizes should be hardcoded. The translator should not
have to worry about this.
