In US english, we use "madarin" with no final e.

In the fruitshed discussion in email, I think I saw reference to the fact that Apple uses fruits on iOS?  If so it seems gratuitous to copy Apple's convention for our OS. 

Could we use the names of major world cities instead? (lowercased, with diacritics removed, cities with long names).  If we use the preferred latin spelling of the country that the city is in, we'll have less of an l10n issue than we do with fruits.  And we'll probably have a longer list with fewer unfamiliar names (like durian and pomelo).  So here are 30 off the top of my head: london, dublin, paris, madrid, rome, vienna, athens, moscow, berlin, warsaw, delhi, mumbai, bejing, tokyo, taipei, nairobi, lagos, cairo, dubai, seattle, chicago, houston, newyork, boston,  miami, rio, saopaulo, caracas, lima, santiago

I'm not sure that I'm following my own "preferred latinization of the host country" rule here... Rome would be "roma" under that rule, I think, and I'm not certain about the others.
