maybe it's better to use the same namespace, but a different local name, 
e.g.

xmlns:i18n="http://www.wyona.org/yanel/i18n/1.0"
<i18n:ui-text key="context.menu.edit"/>

or use a localization namespace

xmlns:l10n="http://www.wyona.org/yanel/l10n/1.0"
<l10n:text key="context.menu.edit"/>

WDYT?

Btw, some useful links:
