Did you notice that audio casettes and diskettes do not exist any
more? :) Naturally, there is a little interest from customers for
their labels.

You found a problem, that there are untranslatable text in UI. But the
problem is deeper. We don't know whether this label set is of any use
today. It was made in 90's, 15-20 years ago. It happened definitely
before the code opening in 2000, because half of the label names are
in German.

It would be a good Easy Hack for a non-programmer, to download
catalogs of label makers, and update label.xml -- remove obsoleted
entries and add current entries that people can actually buy today.

Best regards,
Andras
