To clarify, the names should probably be the best native
representation that can be represented by any active codepage;
(e.g. one should be able to tell something is a Japanese
dictionary even when installing on Win95 using an English locale)
which is also why some are in English. I will look into
the possibility of allowing dictionary names to be localized,
but I don't think it will be possible and still have editing of
the list of dictionary files to remain as simple.
