Hello,

I have checked and have no such folder. I have found a great tool for 
checking where does the program take translations from, it's called lsof:

$krusader
$lsof | grep krusader.mo
krusader  5118          andrej  mem       REG               8,20 
150515   955892 /usr/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/krusader.mo
QInotifyF 5118 5119     andrej  mem       REG               8,20 
150515   955892 /usr/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/krusader.mo


$KDE_LANG=x-test krusader
$lsof | grep krusader.mo
krusader  5246          andrej  mem       REG               8,20 
150515   955892 /usr/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/krusader.mo
krusader  5246          andrej  mem       REG               8,20 
150636   936798 /usr/share/locale/x-test/LC_MESSAGES/krusader.mo
QInotifyF 5246 5247     andrej  mem       REG               8,20 
150515   955892 /usr/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/krusader.mo
QInotifyF 5246 5247     andrej  mem       REG               8,20 
150636   936798 /usr/share/locale/x-test/LC_MESSAGES/krusader.mo

The Ubuntu version is 1:2.4.0~beta1+git76+de1ea35-1.1, so I decided to 
test the 2.4.0-beta3 you mentioned. I haven't found a precompiled 
package on packages.ubuntu.com, so I just installed the 2.4.0-beta3 
version from Debian Sid and to my great surprise: the translation is 
working flawlessly now. I have no clue how German/Czech and Russian 
translations work on the Ubuntu version, but Slovenian not, but 
everything seems to be fixed in 2.4.0-beta3.

Best regards,
Andrej
