May be Outlook is buggy, but your mentioned Thunderbird has it's own 
issue:

When I want to use german names for a user I setup his mail account 
with a folder named "Papierkorb" as trash folder (german 
translation). This can be used with many email clients without 
problems. But a german Thunderbird wants to create a new folder 
"Trash" and displays it as "Papierkorb". So what is the result? In 
Thunderbird I have two folders named as "Papierkorb" where I see in 
other clients a folder "Trash" and a folder "Papierkorb". (The same 
applies to sent, draft and templates folders.)
