Good point Luther.

CAUTION, it's not the German language by itself which is a problem ;-)

I like my language (French) but in such kind of use, localization is mostly source of problems.

Imagine our life the day somebody will decide that "Finder" (the application's name) must be localized
Worse, sometime, Apple engineers are inconsistent.

In some UI elements properties, from time to time, some properties have the same meaning (at least at my level).
For some objects, one is localized, the other isn‘t (which is a fine choice)
For other objects, both are localized (which is a boring choice).
From my point of view it's boring because I do my best to never trigger UI elements by their name which is localized.
