Wrong German localization of "Exit Page"

Reported by norb...@rittel.de, Nov 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10106.0.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3261.0 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10106.0.0 (Official Build) dev-channel panther

Steps to reproduce the problem:
When a page hangs the Page Not Responding dialog sheet comes up.

What is the expected behavior?
The right button should say "Seite verlassen" in German.

What went wrong?
The English "Exit" was understood as a noun and thus translated as "Ausstiegsseite" ("the exit page").
Does not make much sense ...

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 64.0.3261.0  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10106.0.0
Flash Version: 

It might be better anyhow to label this button "Close Page" as the explanation text also refers to closing it.

Even simpler, just label the button "Close".

In this case the German translation becomes "Seite schließen" or simply "Schließen".
