No, It's not OK. Because it would break consistency.

You see, bookmark has everywhere been translated to "choob alef". Now 
for example it is choob alef in Konqueror, and it is choob alef in all 
other applications,so it should remain choob alef everywhere. That's 
the whole point of being consistent. We can't just go on and translate 
a word differently in each application.

If you want to change something though, that's another question. Because 
that means that we shall go trough all of the currently translated 
files, and change them. It's a hell of a task, but sometimes, it might 
be acceptable, if the new translation is far superior.

Cheers
