After consulting with the fellow that did the translation, I've reverted it on
launchpad to match the upstrem translation.
It'll probably be included in 25.10.
This issue is now closed.

Title:
Wrong launchpad translations of Desktop keyword causing issues
Status in xdg-user-dirs package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Traditionally, the "Desktop" folder has been translated to Greek as
"Επιφάνεια εργασίας".
Here's an example from Ubuntu 22.04:
# gettext -d xdg-user-dirs Desktop
Επιφάνεια εργασίας
AFAIK, upstream xdg-user-dirs is still using that:
https://translationproject.org/team/el.html
But an Ubuntu specific translation made in Launchpad overrides that to just
"Επιφάνεια":
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/xdg-user-dirs/+pots/xdg-user-dirs/el/+translate
Here's an example from Ubuntu 24.04:
# gettext -d xdg-user-dirs Desktop
Επιφάνεια
Having an Ubuntu-specific customization for the very important
"Desktop" keyword causes multiple problems:
- Applications such as mate-panel that have their own localizations for
"Desktop" show errors. For example, in Ubuntu MATE, if I go to the Locations >
Desktop menu (Τοποθεσίες > Επιφάνεια εργασίας), I'm getting the attached error
dialog; this doesn't happen if I restore the correct translation.
- In several cases users will end up with multiple "Desktop" folders, e.g. a
user that upgraded from 22.04 to 24.04 who decides to reinitialize his .config
(user-dirs.dirs) folder will now get a different Desktop folder.
- The same thing happens in some other languages too, for example in pt_BR.
Please either restore the translation and backport it to 24.04,
or if the idea is to have a "Desktop folder translation that doesn't contain
spaces", then please propagate this change to all other projects such as
upstream xdg-user-dirs and MATE desktop.
