In the Lithuanian of localization of Wine "Program files" gets
translated as "Programų failai", "Application Data" - as "Programų
duomenys" and "Local Settings" - as "Vietinės nuostatos" (see file
shell32_Lt.rc) causes problems with some software for Windows.

 - This is inconsistent with localized Windows (Lithuanian version) behavior, 
which ALWAYS uses the name "Program files", "Application Data" and "Local 
Settings".
 - Some Windows software doesn't find files in these folders, as translated 
folders have accented characters "ų" and "ė".

Requesting to use these translations in /dlls/shell32/shell32_Lt.rc :

IDS_APPDATA                 "Application Data"
IDS_LOCAL_APPDATA           "Local Settings\\Application Data"
IDS_INTERNET_CACHE          "Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files"
IDS_COOKIES                 "Cookies"
IDS_HISTORY                 "Local Settings\\History"
IDS_PROGRAM_FILES           "Program Files"
IDS_PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON    "Program Files\\Common Files"

I can attach a patch if you like.

Same localization error was with Dutch translation, look at bug #15844
Most other Windows localizations also don't translate these folders if 
translations would have accented characters, look for example at Russian or 
Ukrainian localizations of WINE:
