That's ok for me. But I hope you can leave the part talking about "Next"
intact, since that's not a problem with English, but can be a problem
for other languages. For example, the GTK stock icon "Next" "Previous"
"Back" "Forward" can have different meanings in different places, but in
some languages (Chinese, for example), these words can't be used alone,
so they can't be translated with one simple word.

Agreed, that's not absolutely necessary, if it can expressed clearly
in words.
