Much, much better! Is another iterative proposal okay? Assuming that we
might use "self-explanatory" buttons ... and that I need somebody who
resolves the "non-native speaker language issues" ;-)

----
Update Linked Data
----
This document links to external data that might have changed. Would you
like to update all linked data or keep the current document content?
----
[Help]		[Update] [Keep]
----

By the way, another item that might greatly benefit when using non-modal
messages ;-)

Cheers,
Christoph
