Hmm, I am not sure if these are language independent names. Sophie, what
do you think?

As far as I know, the application names are typically untranslated and I
don't know of any localization using translated names. I can say for
sure that they were never translated in the Italian version, in 1.x, 2.x
or 3.x. But it's good to check with Sophie, French tend to translate
much more technical terms than Italian do!

Sorry, it seems I forget the 'reply all' in my answer yesterday. You are right Andrea, the name of the applications is not localized, it's like a trademarks. The same happens to the Extension names.

Are these choices deliberate?

We wanted to remove oracle.dic because it include many generic English
words, e.g. Time, Tools, Use, Value, Work.

Yes, I got it. I just had doubts because of the seemingly inconsistent
choices (like: if "OpenOffice.org" had been removed because of strange
copyright fears, I would expect the same to hold for MySQL, and so on).
But now it's clear it was just an oversight and if I see important
technical terms missing I'll report it.

In fact, very common words like 'enterprise' (entREprise in French) were ignored by the FR spell checker because of this Oracle dictionary, it was a bit problematic ;)

Kind regards
Sophie
