In case of very common entries I would agree to keep it short: Copy, Paste,
Cut. But why not 'Edit field'? It could also be 'Enable field' or 'Execute
field' when the object is placed in a different scenario like Base or Calc.

Adopt localization means to turn the sequence according the language. The
noun-verb sequence sound much smoother in German, for example.
