[Etoys] translationOfSystemScripts

[Paulo Drummond]

Thanks, Bert.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they were created with a special  
meaning they should remain as a single word. And this cohesiveness  
may explain the camelCasing. On the other hand, as they are not used  
(or purposely not shown) on the XO Etoys interface, so I don't see  
why they should be translated at all.
