Re: [evolution-patches] Make folder treeview internationalization work

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

I'm not sure we want to do this.  And even if we do want to do this, this isn't how we'd do it.  We'd do it the same way Trash and Junk are done (which actually makes the last email discussion moot at the same time).  This patch will also wrongly rename subfolders with those names.

The reason I don't think we want to do this is that unlike Trash, Junk, and Unmatched, these are real physical folders without the restrictions of those folders.  The code may not handle working with the translated paths properly when, for example, you create subdirectories and so forth.  And it would probably be a little alarming for the names to magically change but not be the real name too.

And what happens if you get a clash - its bad enough with Junk and Trash, but this heightens the problem. e.g. you try to create a folder named "Inbox", or the translated version.  Also if we go down this path, a future idea of putting Trash and Junk into a system namespace, where this clash issue is completely solved, it would remain instead.
