[imp] Filters : field name does not get translated

Still, neither of those is an exact match.

What do you mean by new field names? Anything stored in the prefs shouldn't be 
localized; I might be misinterpreting you, but if your filters break when you 
switch languages, that's unacceptable.

Breaking backwards compatibility is fine; we haven't even released an official 
alpha yet. So we're under no obligation not to change things that need to be 
changed to be right.
