I hate every English folder name imposed on me, I'd love for everything to be neat and if possible dynamic not to mention translated. I consider it a bug in an application when it hardcodes an English folder name just to be sure it knows where to put stuff (Like f-spot does). I'm not convinced this solution is the best one but it's at least taking, for once, into consideration the fact that there are a shitload of people who don't speak English or do but prefer to use their native language on their desktop. So here's one user, very thankful for developments in this area, it has been talked about for years and Alex had the balls to try a solution. I couldn't care less if it turns out to be a slightly bad one or we decide to replace it at some later stage, at least there's now code so we can test the concept instead if bickering about it. Let's try it out, if there's a Wiki page up somewhere to say how to enable this on an existing account I'll gladly start testing it out. Let's get some real metrics in, have users try this out and see what they think. - David Nielsen -- "Ridicule is the only weapon that can be used against unintelligible propositions.
