If I understand this correctly, the "Trash" mailbox, for example,
becomes "Papierkorb" in German, but the folder in /Library/Mail/
where its messages are stored is still named "Deleted Messages.mbox"
in English. (?)
If 'mbox' is a reference to a mailbox, then the Mail command ...
name of mbox
always - always - ALWAYS returns the name of a folder located
somewhere within the /Library/Mail/ folder.
This allows me to get exactly what I want -- the path to a folder of
message files. I couldn't care less what the visible mailbox names
are! In other words it is precisely "the names on disk" which do
concern me.

I'd be surprised if that were the case -- it would mean that your
trash wouldn't work if you switched languages. Try changing
primary languages and see what happens.
I did that earlier. The names of the primary mailboxes in Mail
change to reflect the primary language:
{inbox, drafts mailbox, sent mailbox, trash mailbox, junk mailbox}
--> {"Inbox", "Drafts", "Sent", "Trash", "Junk"}
--> {"Boîte de réception", "Brouillons", "Messages envoyés",
"Corbeille", "Courrier indésirable"}
--> {"Eingang", "Entwürfe", "Gesendet", "Papierkorb", "Werbung"}
--> {"Entrata", "Bozze", "Inviata", "Cestino", "Indesiderata"}
--> {"Entrada", "Borradores", "Enviado", "Papelera", "No deseado"}
--> {"Caixa de entrada", "Rascunhos", "Enviado", "Lixo",
"Mensagens Indesejadas"}
etc...
However, the directories on disk remain unchanged. (Since the
average user would carry out most/all operations in Mail, I
shouldn't think the names on disk would concern him/her that much.)
