Ahhh... I see an interesting issue there
In the long run, we should try to use abstract names there. That is, some string that stays the same no matter what the language, and that the user does not directly see.
As I touch things I'm going to be keeping an eye out for "logical internal identifier string" versus "end-user visible string" and try to make sure we do the right things. This includes translating the latter but never the former.
Just wanted to point this out to everyone as something to keep in mind.
