The problem is, that there is no file called "Dokumente" on the
machine, the actual file (or folder) is called "Documents". However
the Finder - which I thought was a *File* manager, but it seems, it
isn't one - showed a folder called "Dokumente", which just doesn't
exist! I18N done right would just use a real folder called
"Dokumente". That's one thing, that's better on MS-Windows, where "My
Documents" on a english machine actually is a folder "Meine Dateien"
on a german windows box.  Of course the unixish '~' is even better and
solves all language problems. ;)

Ciao
