Hi

Translated form names have been available under "displayFormName" for a
long time, I have added code to 2.22 and trunk to also translate options
when requesting a optionset (by id or collection). we can't do this for all
objects, as its a quite heavy operation, normally we only translate a
single object or a collection of objects
