DB was only an example ... you could set the strings into context, f.e. 
not always loading strings for server status

only load the strings needed on page

PMA_str_load('main');

loads only strings needed in main and makes them available, as constants 
or whatever

additionally you could use

PMA_str() to retrieve strings not in current context but needed, f. e. 
in case of an error

i do not say that it is necessary to make a function call for every 
single string
