Hello, We (the developers) decided to let the translators decide what to translate or not in every system app or component, including app names. Some languages has the necessity to translate app names to a phonetic equivalent string, like Korean, or to something that the user can understand what the app does. We want you to decide what is best for the people that uses the OS in your language by giving you the power to translate every string in the app. If you want to translate some string and it isn't available to translation, please, fill a report about it, let us know if we can improve elementary OS and if you need help.
