Hoi,
If none of this is visible to users, the whole point of names of properties
are senseless. Why have them in the first place and prevent this whole
issue by using the property identifier itself.
The number of languages is only relevant in so far that it is absolutely
clear that you assume that you will have sensible property names in the
first place. It is not smart to do so. It has been indicated that there are
issues.
Thanks,
GerardM
