Yes, the two should be the same.  But if you use this domain and other
people use it too because it is the standard example then you can get
conflicting translations.

I have never seen it used anywhere.  My i18n experience is with Zope
2.9 and 2.10 though, not pure Zope 3, so maybe it works fine there.

In Firefox you can use the livehttpheaders extension to check those.
I don't know if there is something similar to IE.

In zope this information should be visible somewhere in the request
object.  To display the complete request in a page template for
inspection you can probably do this:

  <div tal:replace="structure request" />

or simply this

  <div tal:content="request" />
