My recommendation was actually that the default be the language of the

localized name). In the absence of that, I recommended using the English.
For old (all existing) content, the fallback would be the current
combination of localized plus English that is found in most modules.
What do you make of English language editions of Greek Bibles, where
the module config file pretty much has to say "Lang=grc"?
I personally would not want to see "Wetcott-Hort" or "Tischendorf"
transliterated just to match the module language setting, nor (being
serious for a minute) would I want to try to wade through a koine
translation of the module description as laboriously as I wade through
John, say, but I could easily imagine wanting the description to
appear in whatever I had set my locale to, since presumably that
represents a declaration to my computer that this is the language I am
most comfortable with.
I covered this in another reply, but my position is essentially that all
works should have their real title (as it would be presented on a title
page of the printed edition). For the case of Greek Bibles, this will
generally be a title in Latin or language-neutral (a name), or sometimes
in German or English.
