I can see this too. I found the following facts: - if you run xdg-user-dirs-update after removing the .config/user-dirs.dirs file, it regenerates it without translating the ~/Desktop name, but everything else is translated. - if you run xdg-user-dirs-update --force, the ~/Desktop name is translated too. - /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg-user-dirs-update runs xdg-user-dirs-update without the --force option.

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".
