I use when I install, because I can't stand the way most of the things are translated in Italian, but then I use some Italian names for some of my folders. I would get really really mad if switching english->italian->english I'd found out that some smart utility changed my folder names! > Having them change name between languages (which may vary) is dumb, but > the XDG folk are IMHO at least right tht this isn't good enough. > > A lot of cultures don't even use the same symbols as are found in "Mail" etc > let alone the words. +1 Yet another reason to add eventually emblems and not make some magic association. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
