           Summary: Lithuanian translation of "Program files" and
                    "Application Data" folders  (see file shell32_Lt.rc)
                    causes problems with some software for Windows
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: shell32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: mantas at akl.lt


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:
