Yes. That's the problem on the commandline. Personally, I'm fine with
English folder names in Terminal, but you'd still have the contrast to
the translated names in the GUI. In any case, I don't think the user
guide refers to too many paths when dealing with Terminal.

Whatever the solution and whenever it's all complete, there'll always
be the issue of localized/original app/pref/folder names. Therefore, I
see no reason not to start doing the tooltip-thing for the German
translation. Other translations are of course free to wait some more.
More concerning in this respect are localizing screenshots anyway.
However, I don't expect that many GUI changes between our almost beta
alpha3 and R1... :) Famous last words... :)
