"Barcode Scanner" is a proper noun, at least in my view, and so I would
like it to stay un-translated for consistency for western languages. Kind
of like how you wouldn't translate the movie title "Cloverfield" to "field
of clovers", I don't think. The only exception is for languages where the
latin alphabet is just not recognizable... the title in Chinese has changed
for example, and Russian.
