The aren't AFAIK. The finder is localized and shows different folder  
names if you run in another language (that's why there are  
".localized" turds in several directories). Windows is the OS where  
directory names actually do change depending on the language you  
install it in.

The OSX implementation actually makes it possible to have several  
accounts with different languages and have them all see their  
localized version of folder names.
