agree  Ali Al awadi: Based on the asker's note, the button has two functions, one of Disable and the other for Enable, and I think both should be on the translation. Regards

neutral  Mohamed Elsayed: Dear Ali, I think the button appears on the UI, and it is what can be called status sensitive, meaning if it is enabled, then "Disable" will appear, and if it is disabled, then "Enable" will appear instead. IMHO, 1 word will do due to space limitatiation.
