Name of Finder

Is there some way in AppleScript to get the name of Finder without knowing
Finder's name?

If one is writing a script that will be used on systems using other than
English, is the name of "Finder" fixed to the English word "Finder"? If not,
is there some way to determine what it is called, so that you could generate
a 'tell application "SomeNameForFinder"' block?
