Some German translations are shown even if language is set to English

[GerdP]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Make sure JOSM is started without language parameter and language is set to en (English)
2. Press F12 to Open preferences, select validator tab "Tag checker rules"

What is the expected result?

All texts are in english

What happens instead?

The mapcss tests are shown with German names, e.g. "Unnötige Merkmale"

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I use a Windows system that is configured to German language and sometimes use German in JOSM.
The German texts also show in other dialog elements like popups or tooltips.
Can reproduce this with tested and latest.

Seems the translated Strings are stored in the preferences when you change the entries while German language is active:

  <maps key='validator.org.openstreetmap.josm.data.validation.tests.MapCSSTagChecker.entries'>
    <map>
      <tag key='active' value='true'/>
      <tag key='title' value='Adressen'/>
      <tag key='url' value='resource://data/validator/addresses.mapcss'/>
    </map>
    ...
  </maps>

A click on the Reset button in the preferences dialog brings back the english texts. If language is changed to German and the reset button is clicked these texts are changed to German.
A bit confusing for me but not a real problem.
