Please forgive the use of Japanese for convenience' sake.
A Japanese translation of the control panel seems to be wrong.
1.Select the device.
2.Display the context menu by right-clicking.
Here, I think that "削除する" is a mistake, and "取り外す"("Eject" in English) is appropriate.
Thanks.

■I sustain “shigy21” regarding unfavorable translation of “Removal” into Japanese word. It will make more sense if the word of “Removal” is translated into Japanese as “デバイスの解除” which simply means “Detach device". As “shigy21” pointed out, the current translation of word indicated on the control panel is not of customer-friendly and may cause some misreading by new Japanese user. ■On the other hand, I have a different opinion against what “shigy21” expressed in English such as “("Eject" in English)”, since “Eject” appears to be unsuitable expression for the purpose. As a matter of fact, Ver 4 has been released in Japan since 19 Mar 2010. For that, translation correction to more favorable Japanese word would be made in a future minor version up, if any.

Well I am also a Japanese user.
I have verified the Japanese menu text that shigy21 concerns, and I strongly agree with it.
The right-click context menu of “Eject” (at the graphical device listing at the bottom of control panel) is enabled when the cache device is connected on USB port. By executing the “Eject” or “削除する(J)”, it “ejects” the selected USB device from the PC, which is the same function with the Windows’ USB task tray icon (Safely remove the hardware [ from PC]).
This behavior is clearly different from the action of just removing the selected device from eBoostr cache device listing. Therefore, I assume that English menu says “Eject”, instead of “Remove”.
Shigy21’s translation of “Eject” as “取り外す” is accurate, and worth to consider the correction.

By the way, I have a recommendation to the eBoostr developer team that there should be a removal confirmation pop-up. Today, I inadvertently did hit the "Removal" tab when I was checking the control panel to examine the point-out by “shigy21” . Wwhatever the word is, "removal", "detach", or "eject", it is extremely important to confirm the action of inactivation of the devise by some pop-up screen. Otherwise, it is easily taken off from the eBoostr, which is not apparently customer-friendly. Please think about it. [Bunji94 from Japan]

Thank you for the comment.
When this topic was made, the explanation might have been insufficient.
"削除する" it the word is the same word as "削除" button at the right of the control panel screen. However, these two functions are different.
The operation of the matter that I pointed out is similar to the function of "Safely Remove Hardware" icon that exists in "Notification Area". Therefore, I proposed "取り外す". If other appropriate words suitable for the function exist, I will agree.
It is a result that makes the language of the control panel English as for ("Eject" in English), and there is no ulterior motive.

I also have the same experience. I agree.
@flash1000:
Thank you for supplementing the insufficient explanation.
I'm sorry, I'm afraid you must be having a hard time understanding my poor English.
Thanks.

Now, your point is very clear and I appreciate your sincere response to two Japanese's supportive comments. You write very clear and good English (I might not be in a position to say this....). I am glad to see this kind of logical comment provided by Japanese folks and proud of it. Nevertheless, personally, I do not like the word of "Ejection" because I believe it would not fit the circumstance today. The word of "Ejection" started in the time of "floppy diskette" back in the late of 1980. Though, it is still applicable to CD drive now. For me, it is regarded as one of the legacy word. For some reasons, however, the word is still being used against regardless of target device such as USB flash memory. Is it proper to use "Ejection" for RAM or USB flash memory, is what I think. Honesty speaking, I do not like the many words that Microsoft started to use, especially their translation into the Japanese. The most of them does not make sense ..... I think we (I mean you, flash100, and myself) could make a good friendship because I feel somewhat we are similar ..... [Bunji94 from Japan]
