sure, maybe that it makes sense inside LyX but not in the
layout files. I for myself do not like too much translated
stuff, because a lot of users use package fancyhdr and thes
often redefine the pagestyles.

there is an enhancement: ein todschickes Seitenformat ... :-)
just kidding ...

in fancyhdr I write stuff like
\tenewcommand\fancypagestyle{plain}{...}
and not \fancypagestyle{einfach}
too much translated stuff doesn't make life easier ...
