Special-Use Mailboxes ?

Lots of people must have had this issue before me - users using
different devices&software (pc, smartphone, tablet, thunderbird,
outlook, webmail) and languages (e.g. English on the PC, German on the
iPhone), some folders end of with different names - e.g. "Sent"
and "Gesendete Elemente" - meaning the same thing, namely "sent mails".

How do you map these to just one folder such that it shows up correctly
independently of what the user happens to be using? 

It sounds like something for the

mailbox "Sent" {
   special_use = \Drafts
}

config directive?  Is that what it might be used for?

mailbox "Sent" {
   special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Gesendete Elemente" {
   special_use = \Sent
}
