I do not agree with this at all.  The "bibliographic fields" feature,
if used (it's not required), is language-dependent.  For a French
document's author to have to write ":Author:" instead of ":Auteur:"
would be awkward, obtrusive, and probably quite galling.  Presumably
the rendered output of the bibliographic field list would say
"Auteur:", so why shouldn't the input also?

I don't understand.  Explain please?
