PatternFly has new recommendations for terminology and wording [1]. I'm 
not entirely sure if the usage of 'save' here is good. PF defines 'edit' 
as the recommended term. The page doesn't say if 'save' is not 
recommended, though. Save seems to me as a confirmation of editing.

Kyle, could you advise what is the best term for reflecting user changes 
and for confirmation of this action?

Technical notes:
1. it would be better to add a new string and then use it in the button 
instead of having 'Save' text for '@i18n:buttons.update' definition.

2. String changes in internal.py should be also reflected in 
install/ui/test/data/ipa_init.json (for static web ui demo).

3. optional: in addition to text change, buttons and related actions 
could also be renamed (same reasons as in 1). It's more proper but much 
more complicated.
