SL viewer uses language specific XUI files for UI translation. Enlgish (en-us) version acts as a base UI definition, and language versions (e.g., fr, de, ja, ...) supply translated texts. English texts in en-us version and translated texts in language versions are matched with "name" attributes given to UI definition elements.
In the current SL viewer's English XUI files, some UI elements that contains translatable texts lack "name" attributes. They cause corresponding translation texts silently ignored.
This issue is originally reported by Geneko Nemeth as a comment to VWR-4125. I'm creating a separate issue, because (1) "duplicate names" and "missing names" are similar but separate problems in XUI files, and (2) VWR-4125 is fixed in 1.19.1 viewer although this "missing names" issue is not.
I'm now producing a complete list of missing names based on the 1.19.1 RC(4) viewer. I'm uploading it when ready.

Some UI translation texts are ignored because of missing names in XUI files
missingnames.txt lists all elements whose necessary name attributes are missing. It lists an elemet per a line in three fields. Each line has the following format:
file:line:element
where
file is the name of the XUI (.xml) file that contains the element,
line is the line number in the file at which the element's start tag presents, and
element is the name (GI) of the element.
Note that an element's start tag can span multiple lines. The line number above is of the last line in the case.
missingnames.patch is the patch (diff from the original) to fix this issue, adding names to the elements. The names are chosen arbitrarily.
