Yes, the names are constant in all languages on the file system, though the UI displays them localized. Still, in general, you shouldn't hardcode paths. They changed between OS 9 and OS X and could change again. I'm not sure there is a good solution for your problem. I'd file a bug. I suspect Apple only cares about apps in their store, for which I believe Apple provides developers crash logs. Even using asl APIs to read logs does not work in the sandbox.
