Mac OS X is using a different approach.

The filenames in the file system are always in English. So I can do:
$ ls ~/Desktop
in the Terminal application.

But the names are translated for the "high end" applications like the
Finder (the desktop application) or the file selector. So the same
~/Desktop directory is displayed as "Bureau".

If I change the locale and log in using a Spanish locale the files
will not change on the disk but will be displayed using the Spanish
names.

It is transparent for the applications.
