System-Folder wrong named: Pictures instead of Bilder (German)

Post by Clemens Ratte-Polle »

All folders are right: Downloads, Netzwerk, eigene Dateien, ...
But the folder Bilder ist wronly named in English Pictures.
This is a translation error?
How to correct?
thx

Is it mislabeled in Windows Explorer too?, In Windows Explorer it gets the folder names from the desktop.ini, which if you have deleted it or it's folder or if it has been corrupted might default to the english spelling if there is a problem with it I'm assuming. If you have the same issue in Explorer then you can check what yours currently is set to by navigating to the Pictures folder in XY and then running the following from the address bar:

Code: Select all

!type desktop.ini
It should show a line similar to this: LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21779

I am not sure if XY works the same way but I assume it does, also the file has to have both the hidden and system attribute flags to be read properly.

Try to tick this:
Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Show localized folder names

PS: Well, it's a bit half-baked. Only in the tree, not honored in sort order... :maf: I might better remove that option...
