I meant that I consider it a bug of Bynari to use the localized names 
(including the ' character) instead of using a general name (e.g. English) on 
the server and then do the translation in the client.

IMHO the current Bynari approach is broken because it makes it impossible to 
switch a users account from using a French Outlook to an English or German 
version.

In general localisation shall be done on the user visible level never on the 
data level.

(The same mistake was done by Microsoft when they localized Basic in MS Office 
--> Macros using localized Basic cannot be executed in different countries 
--> breaks for global companies...)
