Comment (by pulkomandy):
These are actually symlinks to the matching directories. Since their names
are stored on disk, translating needs a bit of special handling.
The strings are in src/server/mail/DeskbarView.cpp, but just adding
B_TRANSLATE there would result in changing the name of the link on-disk,
and then it would not be translated as you change languages.
Moreover, the user is allowed to edit the content of that menu/directory
as they wish, these are just a default setting. You can rename them if you
want. So we must take care to still allow that. For example if we marked
these with a special attribute, if the user simply renamed them, that
wouldn't work because the attribute would override the actual name.
