So you only want to have a single displayname annotation for a folder without 
any translations?

IMHO translations are _really_ important in a global networked environment and 
cannot be left to the clients as the clients can only guess the translations 
successfully for the standard default folders and are doomed to fail in other 
cases.

Doing the translations on the client side is conceptionally wrong as this is 
using babelfish from the webbrowser instead of offering translations of 
webpages via the original server.
