As far as I can see, the durations of user blocks that do not expire are
consistently labelled as "indefinite" on Special:Log, at least in
English. Can you say where you see the public logging you're referring to?
(MediaWiki mixes "indefinite" and "infinite" in some other places
though. I don't think that's intentional, the software was just written
by many different people and they didn't all worry about such details.)
