Research direction
Examine the existing history operation structures in the codebase (likely in files related to undo/redo). Determine where operations are stored and how they are used. Add a 'label' attribute to each operation. Modify the UI to display the label in tooltips or menu items. Ensure labels are translatable using gettext.
