#14552: System applications names hardcoded in strings make Locale settings non-

 The user can have Sytem Applications and Folders translated into her local
 using the 'Locale' preflet.

 But many often, application mames are hardcoded into the catkeys and are
 not aware of the preflet settings. For example, in Network Status:

 {{{
 You can run NetworkStatus in a window or install it in the Deskbar
 }}}

 This make non-consistent behaviour to users than could read both the
 translated/untranslated versions, depending on how the catkeys was handled
 by the translation teams vs her Locale settings.

 This is also true to applications referencing other applications in
 strings (not often, but it happens. A typical example is the Installer and
 Drive Setup in EULA)

 I think that the application names should be dynamic parameters in text
 and being aware of Locale settings

 {{{
 You can run %s in a window or install it in the %s
 }}}
