The labels for Sent & Received data in the "Peers" debug panel should not be defined as "Bytes" because the units (B, KB, MB) appear after the number making this redundant. I decided to simply use "Sent" and "Received" (rather than "Data Sent" and "Data Received") because we already have translations for the former.
Japanese example:

https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/viewstrings/#ja/qt-translation-011x/47533089?q=received

Demo of changes:

Current UI:

Bytes Sent      12 KB
Bytes Received  26 MB

Happy to add a screenshot if it would help.

Bytes Send: 1MB seems still logical to me (Megabytes are also bytes).
I personally like the "Bytes" in front of Send and Receive because it will quickly allow one to identify that it is related to "traffic".

Still, I'd prefer "Data *" or just keep "Bytes *" because you can also send packets or messages or...

I'm ok with this change, "bytes" is indeed redundant, the unit speaks for itself.
ACK
