Just to back Tim on the confusion on this one, (but anyone feel free to 
correct me if I'm wrong) the translation that Tim gave are the names 
which tend to be used in Continental Europe. At least from the experience 
I've come across here in Germany and also talking to other musicians from 
Austria etc.
Having played on an Austrian Tenor Horn (our Baritone) last year as a one 
off experience, I can tell you it was quite a bizarre feeling. The 
instrument had a leftward facing bell, and had rotary valves, as on a 
French Horn. Not as nice as my own Sovereign baritone, but then again 
I would say that!

Hope that adds to the confusion even more.....

Best wishes
