of these places implicitly in place already. Everything uses GStreamer

Hi,
Just last week I got a bug report and a patch for this in Sound Juicer.
It hard-codes the default location to save files as ~/Music/. Now, my
question is this: do I commit this, or do we need a more powerful system
that handles i18n? I'm sure a Persian GNOME user would not like their

Here a (possibly bad) idea for setting up the default locations for
photos and music:
Use a gconf key to specify the current locations of the Photos and
Music places. The default directories could be localized versions of
~/Music and ~/Photos (my preference), and there could be a control
panel
If Directory names are localized in the GUI do it really matter what
they are called in the filesystem? I mean the whole Unix file hierarchy
