Correction: I do see it in the live session, and I think the explanation is that the ~/Desktop directory is created before xdg-user-dirs-update is executed via autostart, and that in turn is because the ubiquity.desktop file (for starting the installation) is located there.
One way to fix it may be to change the installer (casper?) so ubiquity.desktop is placed in "xdg-user-dir DESKTOP" only after it has been created via xdg-user-dirs-update. However, if I complete a non-English installation, the ~/Desktop folder is translated properly for me. So @Yousuf, if you see it on an installed system, please provide details. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to xdg-user-dirs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885086 Title: XDG "Desktop" item not translated on Live CD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/885086/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
