Is it possible to rename the folder Documents? If so, simply rename it and add the two links.

So even if they would appear in Chinese, you'd be able to cd them using their original English names? Doesn't sound as a high priority feature to me. Why not just use the English names throughout? -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

You could also just create a symlink.

Make main directories accessible using English names in the terminal on a Chinese localized UI
Hi, There's a problem haunting me for years that If I choose Chinese as UI language, the main directories (Documents, Downloads, etc…) are also translated. It makes harder for me when I want to 'cd' those directories in the terminal, because I have to type them in Chinese. There's a little trick can fix this, but it makes directories untranslated: export LANG=en_US xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update export LANG=zh_CN Is it possible that Ubuntu could be just like it's in as OS X, that even if those directories are translated, you also can access them using their English names in the terminal?
