Comment (by gislab):

 We had a big discussion about it on the forum (with author of the
 translation). The word "capture" if translated directly in Russian relates
 to old days of digitizers and light-tables. The author of the translation
 suggested, that before changing Russian version, which we were trying to
 push him to change to something equivalent to "New" or "Create" as more
 generic, it would also be nice to change English ones first.

 I'm not a native english speaker, but neither of the GIS software I used
 is using this term. Even in the GRASS plugin "New" point/line/polygons are
 used, instead of "Capture". But this up to you, I'm more concerned about
 Russian of course.
