I see this behavior in a regular install of Raring, *not* using a live cd: Observation:
If a user has no ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, it will be created at login (or by calling "xdg-user-dirs-update"). However, this translates ony some of the names to the current locale. In my case (German locale), for example it translates Music -> Musik Pictures -> Bilder however, the following names will *not* get translated: Desktop Templates Public These names will only get translated by calling "xdg-user-dirs-update --force". I believe that partial translation of names is a bug. Could someone please confirm that this happens in a regular install of raring? Steps to reproduce: 1. delete your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and ~/.config/user-dirs.locale 2. change to the German locale using the system menu 3. log out and log in 4. cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and observe that only some of the names have been translated to German -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-user-dirs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885086 Title: XDG "Desktop" item not translated on Live CD Status in Ubuntu Translations: Triaged Status in “xdg-user-dirs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I switch the language on my Oneiric Live CD, other XDG directories are translated except the "Desktop" item. When I have a look inside ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, the string is untranslated (other strings in the file are translated all right). If I run xdg- user-dirs-update, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is updated to the correct translation. So I suppose that the default Live CD user is created by some not-localized hackish solution. If this seems not so important, since installed systems have the "Desktop" directory translated all right (at least I hope so, because my system has), it certainly affects all Ubuntu localized Live-CDs and makes them fail the basic "translated or not surface check".
