Hi,

I've just checked that on a fresh install.
When using the french locale, "accessories" is not translated in the Xfce menu.
It should be "accessoires".
The garcon file is ok, it should be translated.
I can't nail where the problem come from.

Probably this file :

Code:

root:~/ # cat /usr/share/desktop-directories/xfce-accessories.directory
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Directory
Icon=applications-accessories
Name=Accessories
Comment=Common desktop tools and applications

There is no :

Code:

Name[XX]=
Comment[xx]=

For other languages

So, no:

Code:

Name[fr]=Accessoires
Comment[fr]=Outils et applications de bureau

FYI

I've installed garcon 0.6.4 from the sources downloaded on xfce.org

And the file :

xfce-accessories.directory

is ok, with all languages

Here are the xfce-accessories.directory files:

from the compilation
xfce-accessories.directory.txt

from slackware pkg :
xfce-accessories.directory_slack.txt

Maybe you could reset the thread to unsolved for the file to be updated ?

Done.
I've also mailed Mr Volkerding.

Because this issue no longer exist with the release of Xfce 4.16
I think you can mark this thread "solved" :-)
