Heck no to renaming the system prefs ... that will only work for the
language the usability expert speaks :) So we will end up with system
preference names that mean something to US librarians and nothing to the
rest of the world :-)

But having another column in the database, displayname which is translatable
that is used to display to the user.

I'm sure there are many others like this - I just haven't gotten to
