There are two issues in this bug report. The first one: folder renaming
issue. The second: You want xdg-user-dirs to have a completely different
way of handling system language changes (directory renaming -> creation
of symbolic links).

I asked in comment 2 if you want this bug report to be about the folder
renaming issue. You answered yes (comment 4) and I adapted this bug
title and description. Then you changed your mind in comment 6 and 8. By
the way, I changed this bug title back to its original that you used at
the time of reporting this bug.

It is time choose what issue you want have in this bug report. If you
choose the first one, it's obvious that this bug's title and description
need updating to make it a bug instead of wishlist/feature request.


This packages description says: "This program reads a configuration file, and a 
set of
default directories. It then creates localized versions of these directories in 
the users home directory and sets up a config file in 
$(XDG_CONFIG_HOME)/user-dirs.dirs (XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config) that 
applications can read to find these directories."

-> Your proposed fix (symbolic links which I consider as a workaround)
is the complete opposite to what this package does and therefore has to
be reported to upstream. Please bear in mind that the upstream might not
accept your proposition.

If your proposed fix is so easy to make then you might provide us a
patch. That patch needs of course be forwarded to upstream because this
package is imported from Debian * unless you (or someone else) are ready
to provide a patch for every new upstream release.

* As you can see at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-user-
dirs/0.12-1ubuntu1
