Unfortunately, no. It's a big set, consisting of every translation of every
system label. For example, you can't create a label named "Trash" (US
English), and neither can you create one named "Bin" (UK English) or
"Corbeille" (French). Since our translations are subject to change, and we
may add system labels in the future, we don't want to publish a static list
somewhere that would quickly become out of date. It might be possible to
add a special result code to the CREATE response indicating that the folder
name will be aliased. Would that be useful?
