These are actually symlinks to the matching directories. Since their names are stored on disk, translating needs a bit of special handling.

The strings are in src/server/mail/DeskbarView.cpp, but just adding B_TRANSLATE there would result in changing the name of the link on-disk, and then it would not be translated as you change languages.

Moreover, the user is allowed to edit the content of that menu/directory as they wish, these are just a default setting. You can rename them if you want. So we must take care to still allow that. For example if we marked these with a special attribute, if the user simply renamed them, that wouldn't work because the attribute would override the actual name.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
