Surely not. There is no general rule for this (every language's translators
coordinate as do as they see fit), but most extensions "are" special pages and
it is standard to translate the name of the special page/extension:

In Special:Version, the name shown is not what "used when referring to the
extension" but a quotation, as shown by the italics.

You could also try an ack-grep "\-desc" /mnt/user-store/git/extensions and try
to find out how many translate the name when it's used in it, but in general
the name lives elsewhere.
