Ah, good, thanks for the pointer. So "labels" is now actually also a built-in 
category, that is why it is translated.

So seems .nametranslation.table is no longer used and now it's that 
groupuinames.xml, good hint, did not come across that before.

See, I was expecting "labels" to be a custom category, so looked at the wrong 
places :)

Sure. Going via the filesystem directory name I was already successful in 
before, it was just that I was curious how translation works (for filesystems 
not okay with non-latin1 characters), in case I need it.

Thanks for your answers, have been helpful to me :)
