Hello, Sorry once more for a really delayed reply. Note that meanwhile I have seen the same issue on a fresh install, too. The workaround I was talking about in my last mail worked like a charm on the new system, too. > Actually you should have a file > ~/.config/menus/debian-menu.menu > which start by > <Menu> > <DirectoryDir>/home/eddy/.local/share/desktop-directories/menu-xdg</DirectoryDir> > which tell GNOME to look for directory files in > /home/eddy/.local/share/desktop-directories/menu-xdg I do have that file and indeed that's how it looks like. See attachment. But it seems this file doesn't do anything. I have removed the symlinks that made the thing work, ran update-menus and the menus are back in English. If I recreate the symlinks once more, and run update-menus I get the localized version once more. So, I guess something's really off. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
