We just had a similar discussion in our team. This is a 'descriptive title' which conveys information aside from just being a title. These we translate. A title which is not descriptive, such as Synaptic, Firefox or Baobab we wouldn't translate (Baobab also has the descriptive name 'disk usage analyser' which we would translate). Semi-descriptive names like gedit and nethack we don't translate. But there are always grey areas where you aren't sure.
