Setting language to UK English creates two "Favo(u)rites" menus

Do both menus show up in the menu-editor too? You can start it through Preferences->Main Menu or running `alacarte` from a terminal.

No, only "Favourites" shows up in alacarte. It should be noted too, that "Favourites" only appears after trying to drag something to "Favorites". Once you do this the program goes to "Favourites" and "Favorites" remains empty. Hope that wasn't too confusing! It's difficult to explain. I'll make a video later showing the process when I have a moment spare.

The problem corrects itself if I log out then log back in again. I have also noticed that dragging something to favourites gives it a star-like emblem, but this is gone the next time I log in.

Sorry for all the mail! Here is the video of me recreating the problem

I've got the same problem of two favorites menus, one in english and one in my system language.

Its a fresh Intrepid install with the UNR repos and apps added shortly after. At first I just had the "Favorites" menu, empty at the top of the llist, and when I added something in it via right click, it creates a "Favoris" in the middle of the list (alphabetical order) where its stores the shortcuts. Trying to drag-n-drop items to the original "Favorites" menu doesn't do anything.

Alacarte doesn't show the "Favorites", neither does gmenu-simple-editor. It feels like its a dummy menu, without any possible interaction.

My previous install did not have this problem.

Weird. After a resboot it doesn't happen anymore.

I tested with the latest version and this does not seem to happen anymore. I guess we can close it, @damien and @tom, do you confirm that?

Bug still here.

I found how to reproduce it:
- have your system in another language than US English.
- Create a new user and log it on.
- Acknowledge that this new user's session have only one "Favorites" menu, in US English despite everything else is in local language.
- Try to put something in favorites, and face the creation of a new Favs menu this time with the correct language.
- Log off, log on, and enjoy the disappearance of the US Favorites.

Solved for me with the latest (1.6.18-0intrepid1) version. Now everything is localized, which was not the case before.

There was a bug in the encoding of translations which I believe caused this issue. The favourites.directory file was effected and hence the launcher got confused when trying to read the directories.

I'm marking as fixed, but if you have any more issues, feel free to re-open the report.
