--- Comment #4 from René Genz <liebundartig at freenet.de> ---
Which distribution do you use?

For me both locations (icon on the desktop as well as the icon in the sidebar
of `thunar` at "Places") are not translated.


To enable language selection:
1. check available languages:
$ locale -a
C
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

If you see only C, POSIX, en_US.utf8 then you must add the language support.

On Parabola:
$ vim /etc/locale.gen
# this file defines order and languages in log in screen in 'Languages menu'
applet in LightDM; enable "de_DE.UTF-8" and "en_US.UTF-8"

$ sudo locale-gen
# update available locales

$ vim /etc/locale.conf
# set "LANG=de_DE.utf8"
# 'LANG' sets default value for 'Languages menu' in LightDM


2. install GUI program to modify LightDM settings

On Parabola:
$ sudo packman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings


3. enable "Language menu"
- start "LightDM GTK+ Greeter settings" (`/bin/bash
/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec`)

- go to "Panel" tab
- Redefine indicators: |ON|
- click on [+]
- |x| Indicator: |Languages menu|
- [OK]
- [Save]

- I cannot test at the moment: if this works right away or if you have to
reboot computer or restart LightDM service (and lose current session!)




I will file a bug with a patch for first and second comment in a few days.
