My feeling is that this is still too constraining. My suggestion is following (look at /usr/share/applications - example attached below): ModuleID=[] # the current Name Name= # The English name, might be identical to ModuleID Name_de= Name_fr= Description= Description_de= Description_fr= Localisable for Name, Description, About and Copyright. This would allow as many and as few names as one wishes, always give a sane fallback (the English name) and allow particularly for the original texts a multitude of names etc. I think I can tell you a dozen or more modules off hand where 3 or 4 names are useful and another handful were as many as 100s of names will eventually be useful.
