I obviously have no real horse in this race, since I don't speak many foreign languages, however I'll just add to this thread that it is common practice in translation policies to stick with the formal/polite form whenever multiple versions exist in a language. You just don't know who the end-user is going to be and erring on the side of politeness is almost always the better approach.
