Hi Volks ...

i completed all my used menu application entries in /usr/share/applications with german language support:

Name[de_DE]=

This works well as root, but as user only the standart Name will be used in the lxpanel menu ...

Can anybody tell me why?

Hi HMA,

Short answer: Just try
```
Name[de]=…
Comment[de]=…
```
Longer answer:
Part of standard: Localized values for keys. Reading it I can say that you right, but here, maybe, not correct implementation in the Openbox, or LXPanel, or anything else?

And I interesting in output of command:
```
cat /etc/locale.conf
```
from your not-root user using terminal.

Hi jik, hi Aleksej,

thank you for your hints.

@jjk .... sure, i have. And the Menu Category Entries are german.

@Aleksey Name[de] also Comment[de] give no other result.
the locale is set to de_DE.
```
michael@AOD255:~$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=de_DE
LC_ALL=de_DE
michael@AOD255:~$
```
```
michael@AOD255:~$ locale
LANG=de_DE
LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE"
LC_TIME="de_DE"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE"
LC_PAPER="de_DE"
LC_NAME="de_DE"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE"
LC_ALL=de_DE
```
The user lxpanel settings are exactly the same like root, and as root the entries language are the correct one....

It looks like a rights probleme .... but how can this be?

Aleksej, Grab screenshot or System Tools is not german

but HMA, where is the problem, because I can edit them all and then there are correct

maybe syntax error - space between Name and [ or before or after the =

correct:

Name[de]=Midori

not correct

Name[de_DE]

tell me wich one is not working and I will make a screenshot

... yup, strange ...

"I set locale de_DE, and it works for me:"

But although you shows me the solution: Althought the locale shows de_DE i set it to de_DE again in the Terminal:
```
michael@AOD255:~$ locale=de_DE
michael@AOD255:~$
```
I don't know why .... but it works! At last the menu-entries are german! :D

Thank you very much Aleksey, for the hint and your efforts!

HMA, do you have a long-time effect?
Or you want to set your locale again and again?
Show me your output, please:
```
cat /proc/cmdline
```

Hi Aleksej, yes i have a long-time effect.
Here is the cmdline output:

michael@AOD255:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda7 lang=de_DE kmap=de-latin1 laptop quiet
michael@AOD255:~$

But, there i havn't changed anything.

Ok .... i played around with the menu-entries. I think, now i know the Problem.
If you work with a frugal installation or an rewritten image to hd (unlzma), this Problem appears.

If you change, delete, add lines in the menu-entries-files the changes will not adopted. Also the locale=de_DE will give no effect. If you delete a menu-entrie or add a new ( i did this with Aleksej's attached file) the menu-entries will be reread an shows the changed or added lines in the menu-entires-files....

of course - if you do any changes in root on a frugal installation, you have to run tazusb or tazlito to save the changes....

Hi .... oh thats a mistake... i didn't restart the unit! Only logged out as root and logged in as user! And in the second step.... i rewrote the image to HD and boot from this, now regular installation.
