That's for specifying the language you want the "default" locations to be shown in. This may be useful if your display manager lets you pick a language before you log in and occasionally switch languages. I do (on very rare occasions), between Japanese and British English, so it makes sense to set something unless you've customized all the locations. BTW, there's also a user-dirs.conf that can be used to prevent that translation from happening in the first place. Translation actually results directories being mv'd. > It's unfortunate one needs to surf the web to discover this and there is > no tool in the application menu to configure it. ACK and the manual pages are also not all that useful. IIRC, there's even a bug in there somewhere about translating the locations.
