Symptoms

When a custom Translation (i.e. Label) is entered in OTM that matches one of the following names:

SHIPMENT
ORDER BASE
ORDER RELEASE
ITEM

these translations are incorrectly being used to populate the drop down list for the Data Purge.

As a result, OTM doesn't find the correct Data Query type and the purge fails with:
