Although "standard" sometimes declines in the literature, the general
usage is to keep it invariable (often according to Le Dictionnaire
Hachette, always according to Le Robert).
Anyway, the rule should be consistency across translations: the
tcsh fr.po says "touches standard", glade has "réponses standard",
evolution has "ports standard", vlc "messages standard" and lynx
"options standard".

How can you back up this claim? I'd love to see occurrences of eg.
"standarde" which I have failed to see in any dictionary, the best
counterexample being "l'entrée standard".

This would indeed make more sense.
