The title of this dialog is "Properties of " [1], to which the file name is concatenated by the software. This is incorrect, since it assumes that the syntax of all languages is the same. The string should contain a variable, like this: "Properties of %1", in order to allow localizers to make it read naturally in their languages.

@Julien: one for you? =)
Once the string is changed in http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sfx2/uiconfig/ui/documentpropertiesdialog.ui#8, I wouldn't know then how to manage "%1". Sorry not for me :-( but certainly someone else will know :-)
This is an easy hack. As Julien already points out, .ui file for this dialog lives in sfx2/uiconfig/ui/documentpropertiesdialog.ui ... Replace dialog title with "Properties of %1", easy peasy C++ code reading it is in sfx2/source/dialog/dinfdlg.cxx, setting the dialog title takes place directly in constructor. So instead of concatenating the strings, one has to replace %1 (using OUString::replaceFirst or whatever appropriate) from the dialog title with the actual file name.
