Just out of curiosity (I'm French), where does this name come from ? It
doesn't mean anything in French. Is that a pun with déjà vu? ;-)


I can't tell whether it's a good name or not, obviously in France we
don't have pronunciation issues with it. Anyway, point 1 (not
translatable) is actually an argument to keep this name: when you can
translate it, it's hard to decide what to do (see Simple Scan, which is
currently kept as-is by translators and doesn't sound nice in a
localized environment).
