This doesn't look like a solution that allows translations to other languages 
than English.

What about defining multiple .desktop files? Then they can have translated 
names. Now that I see we're talking about "Open with...", standard desktop 
files would do the job just fine. You'll only need to order them correctly, 
which is currently not standard across DEs ... [/me adds yet another topic to
