QString sTitle[] = {
      i18n( "Doctor" ), i18n( "Dr." ), i18n( "Dr" ), i18n( "Miss" ),
      i18n ( "Mr." ), i18n( "Mr" ), i18n( "Mrs." ), i18n( "Mrs" ),
      i18n( "Ms." ), i18n( "Ms" ), i18n( "Professor" ), i18n( "Prof." ),

As far as I understood all titles have to be given in english. 
What if no english title exists (or it sounds realy strange)  ?
I didn't say that there are names in the code. I said that titles are part of 
the name and should not (necessarily) be translated but only extracted and 
stored in the title field.
