I have to disagree. If you work in multiple locales anything other than localizing on display will end up in a mess. Imagine having two different Desktop folders or, even worse, two different Library folders! > Perhaps the first thing to verify is if NSXXXXDirectory returns a > localized name on Mac.

I haven't tested this, but I would be very much surprised if these functions return a localized name because you should be able to use these names for referring to physical folders on disk and OS X does localization on display.
