IMO a better solution to this issue (don't know if I can call that an issue though...) would be using icons to define FILL and STROKE. It is more international (even in English the word STROKE was somewhat new to me as I am more used to the word OUTLINE), and the problem of the lenght of translated words won't exist anymore...
I attached a small screenshot of Corel Draw where icons are used to define which swatch is showing fill color, and which one - stroke.
