Description

E.g. on ​http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/de/applications/activitymonitor.html …

The path to the settings is translated:

~/Konfiguration/settings/ActivityMonitor

Not only Activity Monitor, but at least all the applications are effected, perhaps other pages.

Not a bug, a feature. :)
When Haiku got the option to show translated application names and certain paths, we decided to use these in the userguide. There's still the original path/app name in a tool tip if you hover the mouse over it. For alpha4 this option has been disabled in the Locale preferences, because there's a bug in IIRC the runtime loader.

I'm not sure localization of paths and maybe also app names is actually a good idea... There are some difficult issues, think shell, remote access, scripts, performance concerns...

Anyway, we'll leave it as is now and see where this is going for beta/R1.
I'll leave the ticket open as reminder.
