The names of the applications are also in spanish. Is it really too much to ask, for application names to be in english?
Speaking as a native speaker of English: Yes.What's wrong with using languages other than English to name programs? The last program I wrote is named in Latin (as is one of my favourite commercial video games), and the name of the audio player software I use on my desktop PC is a word from the Inuit languages.

From the wikipedia article:"MATE is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2. It is named after the South American plant Yerba mate and tea made from the herb, mate. The use of a new name, instead of GNOME, avoids conflicts with GNOME 3 components."
From the official web site: "The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2."
