These are keys that relate to entries in i18n JSON files. entity.action.editis in the file global.jsonfor each language that you installed, and looks something like this:

{
    ...
    "entity": {
        "action": {
            ...
            "edit": "Edit"
            ...
        }
    }
    ...
}
