Sometimes it is unavoidable.  I seem to remember being told that Anglia and
England both translate into French as the same word (Angleterre), but I'm
unsure if that is correct.  (Please tell me off-list if you know ;-) )

Here it does seem rather avoidable, though.  Maybe it's Open Source
supporters realising they're pointless in a particular language arena which
didn't have the language motive for their term?
