I told Apple about this as soon as Leopard came out, so I'm hoping they'll fix it in Snow Leopard. I think what happened is that they gave a list of words to a translator without supplying the context. That's why we also have "Vérifié" instead of "Coché" when a checkbox is checked. There are quite a few other mistranslations, but I can't think of them off hand. In any case, I gave Apple a long list of them.
