Similar things happen on the desktop itself - the home folder is labeled "home" (small h!) even with German locale, and "Computer" is also not translated to "Rechner" (see attached screenshot).

At first I though this is because I changed from the installation language (English) to the German lang pack, but it also happens with a "pure" German system (see second screenshot). What I expect to see: - when switching languages: keep the folder names and bookmarks/links (which it did for folders other than "Desktop") - when installing a non-English system: either translate the folder too or change the side pane item to "Desktop" Don't know if this is a translation, nautilus or gvfs issue.
