There are languages that do require to transcribe all foreign names because a language is not using a Latin script, it is using right to left writing, or simply because a language grammar says to do so. When we have such generic product names, users not fluent in English would not have a clue what this extension is doing. At the same time users fluent in English would instantly understand that this is something about to make presentations smaller. This is not fair to our users as it does not transfer associations present in the English language to the localized software. I see this practice against the goals of the localization project. For the reference, other software vendors do translate such generic names (like Notepad, Wordpad, Paint, Control panel...) keeping users happy.
