Description
### Description
Files is installed on my PCs with Windows 11 in Italian. In all of them when I launch the program, the list of folders in the system partition appears in English for a moment and then switches to Italian. I don't know the reason. Anybody else? Thank you
### Steps To Reproduce
Read above
### Files Version
4.1.3.0
### Windows Version
10.0.26200.8655
### User ID

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked debug.log and reproducing the folder-name language transition with Files 4.1.3.0 on an Italian Windows installation. Trace the startup folder list and localization behavior from the evidence in the log; done means system folders display the app language without briefly appearing in English.
