- Description set to new value
  The web layout status bar displays the current mouse position as a string with the form:

X: #.#, Y: #.# (<CS units>)

Some examples:

X: -85.5, Y: 42.1 (Degree)
X: 1000000.0, Y: 1000000.0 (Foot_US)
X: 1969052.879314, Y: 636491.372683 (Meter)

The <CS units> string that gets displayed is the raw string that's defined with the coordinate system.

I would suggest the following changes to the units that get displayed:
- make them plural
- use lower case (when appropriate)
- allow them to be globalized

The above examples would then look like:
X: -85.5, Y: 42.1 (degrees)
X: 1000000.0, Y: 1000000.0 (US feet)
X: 1969052.879314, Y: 636491.372683 (meters)

- Summary set to new value
  Better display of coordinate system units in status bar
- Priority set to new value
  P4
- Artifact Status set to new value
  New
- Justification set to new value
  Having the units be plural and lower case makes the string be more readable.  It's a subjective thing.

Allowing the strings to be globalized is more important though.
