Bug Description
The original system language for installation was US english. Some days ago I have decided to set the system to a different language(german). On new login the system ask if the names of the standard folders in the home directory should be kept, or should be renamed.
On choosing renaming from US-enlish to german names there is no renaming.
Instead a second Documents folder in german language is created(called: Dokumente).
As a result I have two Documents folders. One called in english the other in german.
The really big problem is that they contain different files and do not share the files with each other.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Install the system in US-English
2. After finished installation use the system settings -> Language to set the language to german
3.Restart the system
4.After login the system ask if the standard folders in the home folder directory should be renamed: Choose yes, rename in german
5.See that instead of renaming the old "Documents" folder still exist and just a second (in german) "Dokumente" folder was created.
6. See taht the contained files a different for both folders
Expected: The renaming should be a renaming and not a creation of a second standard Document folder in a different language(here: German: "Dokumente")

I suspect that this is not limited to a language switch to german.
