 The GUI labels for map editing tools "Capture Point", "Capture Polygon",
 etc. are considered ambiguous and unclear by quite a number of QGIS users,
 as pointed in this discussion (in Russian):
 [http://gis-lab.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2554]

 As suggested in the same discussion, these labels may be replaced by
 something like "New Point", "New Polygon", or perhaps "Create Point",
 "Create Polygon", etc. for better usability.
