The strings are likely to be changed a lot, so there is really no point
in translating this yet Oliver.

And although Sync and Sink sound the same they are very different.

In the Sync plugin, the term Sink refers to the synchronisation
destination. The terminology is fairly standard: source->sink (it's used
e.g. in electronics and in mutisync AFAIK).
