:PROPERTIES: is part of the Org syntax. Having it translated would make
it more difficult for the parser to operate, and possibly break
compatibility between documents written in different languages.

IMO, having PROPERTIES, and a few other keywords, is a minor annoyance.
For example, you never need to actually write "PROPERTIES" since `C-c
C-x p' (`org-set-property') creates it for you. Also, `C-c C-e #'
(`org-export-insert-default-template') inserts many keywords for you.

Regards,
