"Label" (in the context of crossref labels) are usually translated
as "Referansemerke".  Not only is that very long, but it felt
wrong in that place.  It is a "referanse/reference"  to something,
after all.


Well, I disagree. If you create a cross reference, you have to point to a _label_. So what you have to specify in the dialog is really a label. You don't specify a cross-reference inside the cross-reference dialog. You specify a cross-reference by _invoking_ the dialog. If you rename label to reference, then button "Go to label" no longer makes sense.

I have seen the suggestion of auto-creating (invisible) labels for commonly referenced items, such as all sections & figures.

If that goes through (sometimes in 1.5?),
we definitely need to change the wording
because there won't be a user-visible label at all.  Mostly direct
references to the figures/sections themselves, from the user viewpoint.

There will probably still be labels, but they will then be for "unusual"
occations only.
