No, no problem. I think it's enough to be consistent. So if you have them in Icelandic in 98% of the text, just leave them in Icelandic and follow that convention (i.e., translate to Icelandic) for the remaining 2% too. Italian, for example, has them translated too: https://translate.apache.org/it/OOo_34_help/source/text/scalc.po/translate/

I believe that the "name" attribute is never displayed explicitly and is used only for cross-linking, so it should be fine to leave it in English, but localizing it won't harm. In your case it definitely makes sense to translate it if the remaining 98% assumes it's translated.

Ok, that's a substantial relief, actually :)

Thanks,
