How to determine localized name of scope for key binding?

When setting e.g. the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl-D" for a command in the scope of the text editor, I have to specify "Text Editor::Ctrl-D" as the string for the binding -- when using a US version of Visual Studio 2005. In the German version, I have to use a different name for the scope ("Text-Editor" instead of "Text Editor").
  • How can I determine the correct name from inside an add-in for a specific localized version of Visual Studio 2005
  • Or, if this is not possible, where can I find a complete list of the scopes for all localized versions of Visual Studio

    Just in case somebody stumbles across this question via a web search -- I'm using a hack to find the scope for "Text Editor" ("Text-Editor" in German, "Editor de Texto" in Spanish), which I wrote about on my blog (http://weblogs.asp.net/rweigelt/archive/2006/07/16/458634.aspx).

    We currently do not use an un-localized strings for these values. We pull them directly from the UI, so they will always be localized. Also, 3rd parties can add their own, so us returning the unlocalized version will be impossible.
