Can it be a problem with localization?

That's what I want to do: As in English, there are several German words for the '"' character:
quotation mark = anführungszeichen
quote = zitat
The first is the usual one, the second is what I prefer, because it's shorter.
The "@" has a strange German word (klammeraffe), of which I have no idea to translate to English. It's seldom used in 
Germany, we use the English term "at", and that's what I want Orca to say; I wrote that phonetically.
I've tried this by using the dictionary, but, as I reported earlier, this completely crashes Orca.
Any ideas?
