English Bugzilla commonly uses '''Bug''' while meaning '''Bug report'''. This has implications in verb usage. Essentially user does not 'create a bug' -- it already exists elsewhere, and one can only register it in Bugzilla database.

Important: do not rely on ''terms.bug'' being equal to '''Bug'''. Beyond its original purpose of bug tracking, Bugzilla is widely used in other applications. Always read translated phrases again and try to apply other terms: '''Problem''', '''Request''' or '''Service call'''. If your language uses grammatic gender, you will reject many phrases which sound well with '''Bug'''.
