Global Menu: Wrong German localization of "File"

Reported by tarding...@googlemail.com, Sep 23

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome in a Linux desktop environment (e.g. Unity) that uses a global menu
2. Look for the first entry in the global menu, which is called "File" in English und translated as "Ablage" in German

What is the expected behavior?
"File" should be translated as "Datei" which is the common translation as it is the common translation in this context

What went wrong?
"File" should not be translated as "Ablage" because this translation is very uncommon and confusing. Every other application I am aware of uses "Datei".

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

"File" was mistranslated in elsewhere in the past and got changed to "Datei" there. (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=170320)

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 69.0.3497.100 also on latest chrome 71.0.3562.0 Ubuntu 14.04.  

Same behavior is seen on M60(60.0.3112.113) hence considering it as non-regression and marking it as Untriaged.

NOTE: Issue specific to Ubuntu

Thanks..!
Just a minor correction: The issue is not specific to Ubuntu. It can be observed on any other distribution with a desktop environment that supports a global menu (e.g. KDE). The only part of this issue that is specific to Ubuntu is that no desktop environment other than Unity uses a global menu by default.

Able to reproduce the issue using latest chrome canary# 72.0.3617.0, hence adding respective labels.

Thanks!
