Also, using the suggested menu label would mean the menu item would break the consistency of the menu. Instead of listening actions -- which in e.g. Dutch are translated using infinitives -- it lists also ONE entry that gives a further description of the Restart item.

In English you can nicely paste the addition after Restart and the form of the verb stays the same, also because the used word is the same as the noun 'restart'. In Dutch, and probably in most other languages as well, this is not the case, and therefore the breakage of the menu's consistency, only superficially visible in English, becomes awkward, confusing and ugly.
