 Oh yeah, sometimes democracy is not the best way of doing things.
 Sometimes, users don't know what is best for them (especially when they
 are influenced by Microzift's monopoly).
 And of course sometimes it's best to translate words the way _their_ authors
 intended them to be.

 Hey, it's like not following the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard just because
 most (windows to be specific) users don't like it and voted against it as
 they want to see the more familiar 'Windows' and 'Program Files' directories!
