Thanks. Confirmed this in part (sorry): other locales do store their own translation.
What mattered in that case is the follow-up question:

2) to retrieve the "Unknown" equivalent for other locales, could one use gettext substitution, like below?

Code:

authorname = _("Unknown")

To be honest, this seems best avoided, but knowing it can be done, etc.
