Its a difference if you correct something that dosen't make any sense in the normal language use or something that is an "insider" word. There is even a whole Wikipedia article about how the word originated.

So if you say "looten" is not a german word then "loot" is not a german word too. But how woud you say "Lootsystem"? "Beuteverteilungsystem" noooo please not
You coud say "Beute" for "loot" but it also means "prey" in german so...

This is a Game and not degree dissertation!
Lets stop this discussion here, if you want to translate an addon and make it better then go ahead. There are many that still need translations! Please!
