[android-developers] Home, Menu, Back, Wallpaper, Play in different languages

My wallpaper contains instructions (in the app, web and Play) which look something like:
 
'To install the Wallpaper, from the home screen press "Menu" then "Wallpaper" then "Live Wallpaper" then ...'
 
The problem is that in different languages these "reserved" words like "home screen", "Menu", "Wallpaper" and "Live Wallpaper" are going to need to be particular words in the translation, or else the translation will make as much sense as:
 
"To install the wall covering, from the apartment check press "Food list" then "wall covering" then ...."
 
Clearly for the instructions to make sense the correct reserved word in that language must be used.
 
Does anybody know the "official terms" or where to find them in different languages for:
 
Home screen, Home button, Menu button, Back button, Play (market), Wallpaper, Live Wallpaper, Settings, Application, and any other words that are effectively standardised in different languages for Android.
 
Seems like it should be published somewhere by Google but couldn't find it.
