People can understand images, sound, video similar to what's on the web, independent if they are fluent in the language of the material. But having an item in one's home folder in a foreign language, in the middle of all the familiar names in a localized user interface stands out as being unprofessional.
It's similar to any piece of highly visible non-translated string in Ubuntu - since Ubuntu is so well I18N:d otherwise, a single very visible item stands out as ugly or unprofessional. And I have probably heard about every I18N problem I have pursued from users multiple times, live or on the web, like "Ubuntu is quite nice and very usable in Finnish... but there is this English menu entry which my dad was confused about" etc. -- "Examples" folder link on Live CD desktop cannot be translated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
