I think there are compelling reasons to rename all the sysprefs, some of them are just plain illogical (like NoZebra, NoZebraIndexes) ... but I 100% agree that we need a way to translate them for display as well. Another column wouldn't cover it because it wouldn't be able to handle multiple translations ... I'd vote for exposing the syspref names to the template as a variable and wrapping the description in that format so it could be translated using our PO system.
