I'll update this bug's title and description since you see the renaming failure as a bug and symbolic link as a solution.
About your example: That's why programmers use system variables like $HOME or XDG_MUSIC_DIR to avoid issues when a user changes the system lang. In fact, xdg-user-dirs-update (part of xdg-user-dirs) changes the file paths in .config/user-dirs.dirs. -- XDG_DESKTOP_DIR (ex. ~/Desktop) isn't renamed to the new language if it isn't empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
