playonlinux does not support another languages than english

[Tommi Saira]

Binary package hint: playonlinux

When some programs has been istalled and selected and selected "make a shortcut to a deskopt" (was that rigth) option playonlinux make a new folder called "Deskopt" to a home directory in finnish deskopt is "Työpöytä". So the sortcuts goes wrong folder when not using english. I`m using ubuntu 9.10 and i have newest playonlinux avaible.

Copied from the duplicate report:

My friend uses Ubuntu 9.10 in Dutch localisation, this also means that he has wine installed in Dutch.
The problem arrises that when he installs a program using POL, it cannot find the file simply because under Dutch installations Program Files is called 'Programma bestanden' and POL can't find this because it is not English

Hi,
This bug was also reported on our bug tracker (http://bugs.playonlinux.com/en/issue-16.html).

You can change the default Desktop directory used by PlayOnLinux in it's setting.

Go to "Settings->Environment"

@Aymeric : Thank you very much for the information.

Can the original reporter please confirm that setting your own directory will fix this issue? Please try this, if possible using Ubuntu 10.10, and reply by comment here. Thanks.

What you mean by 'setting my own directory'. You mean my home folder?

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

I think I might have misunderstood the original report.

Can you set the correct directory by using the menu in PlayOnLinux -> Settings -> Environment?

Or is the issue that the created launcher is using the wrong directory?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

[Tommi Saira (tommisaira)]

I haven't replyed because i haven't had playonlinux installed for a while, and i'm too lazy to take effort to install it. The reason to the bug is simple: the play on linux always buts shortcuts to the 'Desktop' folder but in my system it is translated to 'Työpöytä', but rather than butting the launcher into the 'Työpöytä' folder it creates 'Desktop' folder, and buts launcher there.
