You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When installing the ubuntu 14.04 system (32-bit), I opted for the Slovak
language.
I am the only user on the machine.
As expected, I got the Slovak directory names Plocha, Dokumenty, Stiahnuté, etc
(instead of their English names Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc).
Later I decided to change the environment language to English (GB), but
only as the user, not in the system-wide manner. I was asked if I want
to change the above Slovak names to English ones. I agreed.
Most of the directories were renamed as expected. However, one of the
directories (Plocha) contained some files. Its English equivalent was
created (Desktop) but the slovak-named directory (Plocha) was kept,
together with its files. The files were not moved into the directory
Desktop. They are not shown on the display. If I want to have them shown
on the desktop, I have to do the mv operation with files manually. (And
manually delete the no-more-needed directory Plocha .)
I would expect that the program which cares about these things should (after
some checks) just do
mv Plocha Desktop
and that would preserve any file atributes and possible symbolic links within
Plocha .
To complete my report, I just add that I prefer to use a combined locale
(but this should not matter). The output of my locale command is
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=sk_SK.UTF-8
LC_TIME=sk_SK.UTF-8
