In Tracker there are a couple of dialogs that have the label "Do it" on
the button. This is bad UI because it can be confused with the word "Dolt"
and is just non-standard and strange. Unless their is a really good reason
for this we should just use the international standard "OK".
Reference to "Do it => Dolt":

And here is a reference on "OK" being an international standard:

Attached is an example of such a dialog pulled from the User Guide:

Also, I made a patch.
