How do you name i18n text?

When I work on web application with my colleges. The name of i18n text are given quite freely. It's like each one has his own rule of naming.

Take an example, we have a text "Create a new item", it is used for a link.

When some text is longer or containing format of dynamic content. Naming varies a lot and agreement is hard to be met.

So I wonder whether there's a good naming rule or convention for the i18n text in different cases: short, long, with format, vulnerable to change, etc. Or how do you do this in your project? With this convention, maintenance can be easy and code is more readable.

Thanks a lot.

It's not something that I have seen so far in coding conventions. I guess it matters a lot less than other issues when it comes to coding standards. That said, I don't know what platform you are using, but if it's .NET there is a very short page on naming conventions for resource identifiers here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms229037%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
