Ah, now that you mention it I remember the problem: Thunar uses
~/.config/user-dirs.locale rather than the environment variable LANG to
determine which locale to use. This seems to cause a lot of confusion
for many people as a quick google search reveals:
https://www.google.com/search?q=~%2F.config%2Fuser-dirs.locale+thunar

However there is not much we can do about it other than making sure that
xdg-user-dirs-(gtk-)update us run on login.

Kind regards,
