The bottom line is, it is better to add translations to property files than it is to delete labels. Deleting duplicate labels makes sense at first glance, but problems could come up if there was a specific reason the duplication was needed (for instance to avoid an inter-application dependency. For instance EcommerceYourShoppingCartEmpty may be present in OrderUiLabels.xml to eliminate the need for the Order Manager component to load/use the ECommerceUiLabels.xml file.)
