German fieldnames former, now english fieldnames

Up to version 4.1.6 minimum the field names of the internal MAC Adressbook were showed locolized in data-browser.
Templates using those fieldnames (mail-merged) works well in this versions.

Since version 4.2.6 (maybe earlier?) the field names of the same data-source were only provided in englich - so all mail-merge documents failed.

Same behaviour in version 4.3.1.

I added some screenshots: LibeOffice-Brief2.jpg shows an existing template which worked well in used ersions (< 4.2.6). After update on version 4.2.6 fieldnames doesn´d match.

Uwe Altmann made some additional tests on his mac - same Date-Source, but different display in version 4.1.6, 4.2.6 and 4.3.1.

Missed localisation?

There may be exist a conection to bug #80810 - but in details there are differences.

I created a Addresses.odb from my English install of LibreOffice with English as the main language in OS X.

If I set my mac display language to German, I get German field names when I open the Addresses.odb file

So this seems to work for me now
