Bug report #17395

Fields of memory layers are renamed automatically by the translation

Description

Steps to reproduce

Requires the german version of QGIS.

1. Create a vector memory layer through PyQGIS
2. Add a field named "id" via the dataProvider of the layer
3. Add the layer to the registry
4. Open the attribute table

Expected behaviour: A column named "id" is visible.

Observed behaviour: The column is named "Objektkennung". The actual field name is changed, too - e. g. if a script accesses a feature's attribute through `feature["id"]`, a KeyError is raised. The script has to use the field id instead to work consistently across machines.

This is quite dramatic, as it may unexpectedly wreck a lot of scripts and plugins that "work just fine" for the developer.
