George,
Thanks for weighing in. I'll add the colon and draft a note to be sure that
the same thing happens in the German localization. Other localizers will be
more-or-less automatically notified of this change, and can add a colon to
other languages.
Look for the change in beta 4.
- Peter

Hi Peter,
It is a generally accepted practice by screen readers to associate text
adjacent to a text box as being a Label if it has a colon after it. I
rather suspect that adding a colon will resolve the issue.
(And knowing the implications of this in the Strings system, I shall openly
state here that I refuse all responsibility for your increased blood
pressure if I'm proved wrong! - Big Smile!)
George.
