DynamicModel: avoid untranslatable strings

However, "AND" and "OR" in search queries are still untranslatable
(because they wouldn't work otherwise). This is at least documented in
code.

Why not translating OR and/or AND?

> Why not translating OR and/or AND?

Because the parser is not i10n - aware enough. Additionally, problems may arise when those are translated, for example AND in Czech can be translated as "A" (too ambiguous) or "A ZÁROVEŇ" (more corrent, but 2-word), so I've decided not to do this now. Note that the GUI to construct the query already uses translated versions of "AND" and "OR".

If you're keen, you can try to do this, we're happy to review and accept patches. Links to the parser are in my commit above.
