Lithuanian translation of "Program files" and "Application Data" folders (see file shell32_Lt.rc) causes problems with some software for Windows

Binary package hint: wine1.2

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 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=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:

http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/shell32/shell32_Uk.rc

A patch would be most welcome :)

Please post it in the upstream bug report and send it off to wine-patches mailing list. If it gets accepted into Wine I'll backport it to wine1.2 for you :)

Wine Developers agreed to remove a possibility to translate system folders, see http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-January/093846.html (all discussions: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-January/093835.html )

It seems this bug is fixed in Wine 1.4rc1, see this commit bt Francois Gouget:
shell32: Don't translate the shell folder paths
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/6fc6cf6935ff7aac005c080873db31fd706e359a

But problem still appears in all Wine 1.2.x versions :(

upstream fixed
