Hi Mick,
yes, of course, and I found lots of places with .desktop and .directory files.
To me it seems, that e uses the .directory files in
/usr/share/desktop.directories,
which contain translations, such as LibreOffice (Writer) for English and
LibreOffice (Textverarbeitung) for German for the entries of each application
menu.
But for the categories in the Applications menu, e seems to refer to
/etc/xdg/menus/enlightenment.menu,
which contains only English text. If I remove this file from here, I have a
German applications menu!!!
Is my conclusion correct? Or where is e supposed to look for translations?
It seems, that this was an artifact from a previous install, when I tried the
Enlightenment menu option at first start. I am inclined to think, that it is a
bug, that this file influences the menu, even when the user selects or switches
to KDE menu. I guess, if I tried to switch to Enlightenment menu now, I'd run
into trouble, as the removed file would be needed, then. Correct?
Everything fine now? Well, almost.
The applications menu is in German now, with the exception of one entry:
Office
is still not translated to "Büroprogramme" or something similar, and the
entries appear in seemingly arbitrary order, while the entries in other menus
appear in alphabetical order, usually.
I'd appreciate a hint, how to fix this (now really minor!) issue.
Thanks in advance, kind regards,
Alex
