Bug Description

Hello,

if I open the dash in Unity 2d and select "More Applications", category names (accessoires, office, games, internet, ...) that contain german umlauts (like Zubehör, Büro, ...) are rendered incorrectly, it seem that a wrong character encoding gets chosen (see screenshot below).

Another issue that you can also see in the screenshot is that the sorting of the category names is wrong, obviously the entrys are still sorted alphabetically according to their english names (with Accessoires coming first, System last) allthough they are localized into German.

The third problem is that when I click on e.g. Office or Internet, no applications are shown on the left.

I am not sure if I should open seperate bug reports for these two other issues?

Kind regards,
Jan
