The panel for version 4.2 is fully translated but most of the tooltips under Hebrew local appear in english (eg. Settings, Mail-checker, Browser...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change locale to Hebrew (he_IL.UTF-8). 2. Restart Xfce. 3. Look for the panel tooltips Actual Results: Tooltips are in English Expected Results: Hebrew tooltips
The configuration file is only read from the default location when there is no user config file. Since only the default file has translated versions available, you can only see the translations if you didn't start Xfce before. To get the translations: log out of Xfce, rm ~/.config/xfce4/panel/contents.xml, restart. That should give you translated panel contents. The menu entries on the right-click menu should already have been translated though.

Clearing the .config works on my ubuntu, And I've also tried to do a clean installation with Xfce's installer (on a clean Ubuntu hoary) and the tooltips are shown in Hebrew. AFAIR, removing the .config didn't help for Dotan on Mandrake (or Mandriva) with native packages. Thanks, Yuval Tanny
Ok, I'll consider this a packaging problem for Mandrake then. Thanks for testing.
Thanks guys. I've updated my machine and all seems fine now. Regards Dotan
