Hope you'll find a way to implement that in FARR. Keep up the good work!

I see! I think it's not enough to check filenames and shortcut names, because Windows itself doesn't show the real values of these elements, but  the localized file names and shortcut names it finds in the file desktop.ini in the corresponding folder, in our case c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\:

[Select]

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21761
[LocalizedFileNames]
Remote Desktop Connection.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe,-4000
displayswitch.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\displayswitch.exe,-320
Paint.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22054
Sync Center.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\System32\SyncCenter.dll,-3000
Wordpad.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22069
[b]Calculator.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22019[/b]
Sound Recorder.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\SoundRecorder.exe,-100
Welcome Center.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\OobeFldr.dll,-33056
Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard.lnk=@C:\Windows\system32\fsquirt.exe,-2303
NetworkProjection.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\NetProjW.dll,-501
Math Input Panel.lnk=@%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Ink\mip.exe,-291
Snipping Tool.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\SnippingTool.exe,-15051
Mobility Center.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\mblctr.exe,-1008
Sticky Notes.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\SNTSearch.dll,-505

FARR doesn't find these localized names, but the Windows start menu does (see attached images). Further, I attached you some image about the file representation of Windows Explorer (localized) in contrast to Total Commander (not localized).

Hi mouser!

Thanks you for your reply.

I'll check your new beta with the "Quick Search Words" tab.

But don't you think it would be eben better if FARR on Non-English system would work just the same way as the start menu does? I think most users just want to replace the start menu with a more powerful and handier app like FARR. I think it would be the best solution to read the localized app names like Rechner for Calculator aka Calc.exe without havin to check if a "Quick Search Word" has already been created.

Maybe that could be easily achieved with the SHGetLocalizedName function?

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR in other languages? / Search for localized names with FARR

« on: April 07, 2015, 09:09 AM »

Translations on your radar again? I could do the translation to German…

It would be even more important for me to be able to search for German language Windows apps, folders, and functions: When I want to open the Calculator – in German "Rechner" – I have to write calc to start my "Rechner" (Calc.exe).

Would it be difficult to make FARR also search for localized names and match them to the respective elements?
