Hoi, Sorry but this reaction is beneath you.
Sorry for the annoyed tone. But I'm quite serious about the questions I asked.
We localize magic words, namespaces, and template names. These are not visible to users, the localization is done for conveniance of people editing wikitext. So why should we not do the same with property names? What's the difference?
And, if that localization gets in the way of portability as you argue, and is not relevant to the people who use these features, why don't we get rid of them?
I do think that allowing access via (optionaly!) localized names is useful. But if it's not wanted/needed, it's fine with me, it would save me quite a bit of work. But I think that we should be consistent about it.
