In the Types Tool, you can change the name of the actions (don't change the
id!) for the Content Types.  This doesn't help for the global actions
though.

Ultimately, more of the tools, including the ActionsTool, need a UI where
this can be configured.  The TypesTool is a good start by exposing this for
the content objects, I don't know what other tools like Workflow that
participate in Actions do (or are capable of).
