Where to find this phrase exactly? Steps to reproduce welcome, as with every ticket...

It is not "Edit differential versions", it is "Edit Differential Versions" instead.

"Differential" is the name of the Code Review tool, see http://fab.wmflabs.org/

This is the general question how much of Phabricator's eigen names for its tools we want to keep in the UI - same complaint pattern would be about "Edit Maniphest Tasks" if you don't know that Maniphest is for Tasks and Bugs.

True, I normalised the case to what it should be. Proper names are made worse by the fact that even common names are uppercase, so there is no way to identify what's supposed to be a proper name.

Yes, I wanted to file that one too but I refrained because I'm so sober. :P

translation.override can be edited through the Admin panel, and this is useful to change strings like this one. Now it says "Edit Code Revisions".

I have changed this one for demonstration/testing purposes. In the official Phabricator instance we will need to discuss what default strings we want to change.
