Summary:
The German localization of iPhoto incorrectly uses the translation Bibliothek for Library. The correct translation would be Mediathek.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Language & Text system preference pane
2. Drag Deutsch to the top of the list of preferred languages
3. Open iPhoto while pressing and holding the option key
4. A dialog appears that allows you to choose a library
5. Press the button titled Neue erstellen…

Expected Results:
The proposed name for the new library is iPhoto Mediathek

Actual Results:
The proposed name for the new library is Bibliothek iPhoto

Notes:
Bibliothek derives from Ancient Greek and literally means collection of books. The word Mediathek which is used in the rest of iPhoto’s interface in the German localization is a far better fit.
