Bug: Shutdown Button is not translated into native language

from Stardock Forums

Hey,

Just want to say that if your not using english as a native language on Windows 8 that the translation of some parts are not done correctly.
Sometimes Network is not getting translated into (my computer, dutch) Netwerk and sometimes it does...
Also, the shutdown button is not translated. The roll-out menu that has all the other options does. When i change the function of the button, the translated is lost again.

What do you mean by when you change the function of the button, the translation is lost again?

Do you mean if you set the button to sign out, then the text on the button reverts to english vs the translation that was in the menu?  If so does shutdown then appear in the correct language in the popup menu?

well, sorry for the bad explanation, the button is never translated.
for example: the button says shutdown in english, the rollout menu says all the other options (signout, etc) in dutch. when i change the button function to signout. the button says signout and the rollout menu has all the function in dutch including the shutdown option. which means the translation is available, but not used in the button itself.

 to bad that i can't seem to include a picture

i V3nn3tj3,

the translation is not the work from Stardock I think. Windows 7 and Windows 8 are using language modules, so Windows translates some key words automatic.

If you check all right side options from the Start8 menu, you see some more untranslated words e.g. 'Network', 'Connect to'. 'Default Programs' ...

 

Perhaps I can help out with a picture.

I've updated my picture above. Now you can see all activated shortcuts on the right hand side.

@ Hi V3nn3tj3, are really all translation done correctly?

My native language is German, I still miss the three translations of  'Network', 'Connect to'. 'Default Programs'.
