Localize osx folder names

All localized folder names are located in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemFolderLocalizations/XX.lproj/SystemFolderLocalizations.strings in binary format by default where XX stands for your locale name.

Before edit it you need to convert that in xml format with sudo plutil --convert xml1 SystemFolderLocalizations.strings

Finished editing the file you can convert that back to binary format with sudo plutil --convert binary1 SystemFolderLocalizations.strings

Now you need to restart Finder with killall -KILL Finder
