I agree customization is more powerful here (although it means that all
non-English Org users will need to change it), but so it is for every
other multilingual string.
Since we didn't choose to make multilingual strings customizable, I find
it strange that this particular one is.
Also, I you can use a filter to modify that string and make it comply to
a specific style, if needed. IOW, you also get 1) and 2) with the
`org-export-dictionary' way, with 1) being more user-friendly and 2)
more difficult than in the current way.
Am I missing something?
