I see the same in Norwegian: downloadet (=downloaded) attachment, savet
(=saved) In stead of: Lastet ned, vedlegg and lagret. However there seem
to be more and more using the Norwegian words and I think it has to do
with that more and more people have Norwegian in they desktop OS. I mean
in the old days everything was English and in order to explain to
somebody what to do you had to use English words so he/she would find
the correct menus. Now when you have the menus in Norwegian one use the
Norwegian names.
