Folder De-Localization with Citrix User Profile Manager (UPM) Windows user profiles prior to Vista / Server 2008 contain localized folder names.

End users only see the local copy of the profile, while admins mostly have to deal with the central copy on a file server. Wouldn't it be cool to have a "translator" component that makes sure local folders are localized while central folders are in one language only?
