According to you, what would be a not-totally-gone-wrong way to handle the I18N of filenames?
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
