Christian,

you are right. The correct translation is natural scientist. But in
this case the correct action should be a bug report to upstream -
the author of the TeX package.

BTW, translating TeX descriptions really suck. There are gazillions
of headlines taken from the CTAN. Often one has to take a look at
the CTAN catalogue to make a sensible translation. But this is worth
a thread on its own :-(
