Well, not really, since at least in my language (and I could guess also 
in others) such attributes (name, version, etc) have different genders, 
so the translation of "unknown" would need to follow the gender of the 
unknown item it is referring to.
Yes, you have to provide a different "Unknown" string for each of the 
items.

Maybe it would be better to do it for this release, making the module 
useful on potentially more distros? Also, if things would not be 
complicated too much, maybe consider falling back to `lsb_release` if 
/etc/os-release is not available.

Better to not silently redirect to non-free services ;)
