I think people working on a project should agree on some term. And you 
can use Bugzilla to report labels you consider a bug.

Hm, this sounds like a very small Python/Perl/Shell script working upon 
the .strings files to me. The database is already existent and support 
very neat versioning and merging - CVS.
We track changes using ChangeLog files (so you can state "why" you 
changed some label or that x and y agreed upon a new variant etc).

Personally I do think that a "real" database is overkill for the task 
at hand - but use what you like, finally it will end up in CVS and 
ChangeLog anyway ;-)
