Yes, that might well work, but I'm inclined to wait and see..... the
original translator must have thought the term he chose was a
reasonable one, so it'd be best for MO to discuss it with him and let
them come to an agreement as to the best word to use. (It would be
interesting to check what is used in other Persian-localized products,
especially in Windows installers and similar "wizard" contexts, but
I'm not the person to tackle that research.)
