[Ubuntu-l10n-eng] [Bug 1034488] [NEW] Rename "Aeroplane mode" to "Flight mode"

Which devices use "Flght mode" ? All the Android devices I own or use
have "Aeroplane mode", including the latest CM10.1 (JB4.2), for their
UK translation.

Is this actually a translation issue to be "fixed" or simply a change
to reduce the amount of vocabulary needing translation in other
devices?
