Actually that is a very bad example, as the original translator was me and 
the word you talk about was token. Your translation is much better than 
mine was, but I did know what I translated and tried long to find a 
good translation, but translating is a kind of art and not always is the 
first try the best result. Sometimes it needs more iterations of 
different people to get a good result.
