This seems good. The XDG menu is localised.
This was also the same before, but only the Romanian translation was
present, so I don't quite follow your logic here.
My point was that the job of update-menus stops at creating this file.
Since this file is properly localised the problem is not with
update-menus.
Is the file
~/.local/share/menu-xdg/desktop-directories/menu-xdg/debian-apps.directory
also properly localised ?
What is the language setting of GNOME on your system ?
Could you try another user on your system ?
The bad news is now I have 2.1.38 installed and still the menu is not localized.
The good news is that I have found how to make it work. It seems that GNOME doesn't look into the
subdirectories of the ~/.local/share/desktop-directories directory to look for .directory files:
I did the following and now the Debian menu is entirely localized:
0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.local/share/desktop-directories $ for I in menu-xdg/* ; do echo "$I"; ln $I
`basename $I` ; done
0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.local/share/desktop-directories $ ll

Is this behaviour correct? Are subdirectories allowed in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories and does
the standard say they should be recursively traversed in order to find more .directory files?
If not, menu should place its files directly under ~/.local/share/desktop-directories (I know this
would be painful for automated cleanups when running update-menus).
