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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-user-dirs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885086 Title: XDG "Desktop" item not translated on Live CD Status in Ubuntu Translations: Triaged Status in xdg-user-dirs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I switch the language on my Oneiric Live CD, other XDG directories are translated except the "Desktop" item. When I have a look inside ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, the string is untranslated (other strings in the file are translated all right). If I run xdg- user-dirs-update, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is updated to the correct translation. So I suppose that the default Live CD user is created by some not-localized hackish solution. If this seems not so important, since installed systems have the "Desktop" directory translated all right (at least I hope so, because my system has), it certainly affects all Ubuntu localized Live-CDs and makes them fail the basic "translated or not surface check".
