Bug Description
Binary package hint: xdg-user-dirs
Continuing from bug 123435. The translations for xdg-user-dirs are now in the language packs, but the translations aren't used always since they are not always available. The folders and menu entries are untranslated if the language packs are not downloaded during installation time (eg. no WLAN connection enabled when installing, or no Internet connection at all). If the language files are downloaded afterwards user-dirs update programs aren't run because the selected language itself isn't being changed.
I'd suggest including xdg-user-dirs translations for all the languages on the desktop CD itself, like is done eg. for installer strings and menu entries, since otherwise these problems cannot be avoided. The only other option would somehow to detect when xdg-user-dirs translations for the selected language suddenly become available, and run update in that situation.
Thank you for your bug
