I was going to suggest this, but I don't think it's really doable: browsers would need to include all the translations of that caption in all their versions. In the specific case of IE, considering that Microsoft tends to license only single-language versions of its products (if you want it in two languages, you need to pay twice), I'm afraid this would be an issue (despite the fact that IE is actually distributed for free, it would still mess with their "packaging"). Still, I think that requiring user confirmation whenever something in the control has been altered (like the button caption) should be enough: as long as the user knows that s/he is sending that file to that site; how much matters how the control actually looks or what the button's caption reads?
