Juan, what's your take on this. I initially thought that this was 
essentially part of the same set as 'Surname', 'Organizational Unit', 
'State or Province', etc for which it's clear that translation is 
needed. But apparently 'KeyID=' and the others next to it ('Certificate 
Issuer', 'Certificate Serial Number=', etc.) are used in a slightly 
different context. Should they not be translated?

How can one test this in practice?
