"Downloads" folder in non-English installations never have localized name

[RussianNeuroMancer]

If you install for example Russian version of Ubuntu then after installation Downloads folder will have "Загрузки" name.
If you install any non-English version of Kubuntu, Downloads folder after installation will always have "Downloads" name. Same problem with Ubuntu Maverick. Tested on daily build (13 September).

they're made by /usr/bin/xdg-user-dirs-update which gets run by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg-user-dirs-update
and it should just pick up the system locale on first run

What is in your /etc/default/locale file?

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

Problem found, the translations are in the Gnome language packs
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=xdg-user-dirs.mo&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=any

They should be in the foundation language packs

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

Lookin further in, xdg-user-dirs.mo files are shipped in both the xdg-user-dirs package and in language-pack-gnome-xx

However the one in the xdg-user-dirs package seems incomplete, it needs the xdg-user-dirs.mo file in the language-pack-gnome-xx package to correctly translate "Download"

I've just tested this installing the Ubuntu desktop image in Catalan and I could not reproduce it (i.e. the Downloads folder is correctly translated as Baixades). Could someone else confirm in another language or perhaps in Kubuntu?

[Fran Diéguez (frandieguez)]

I this was fixed in a previous update. Today my Downloads directory name
is translated and shows «Descargas».

You can close the bug.

Thanks for testing! Closing then.

A fix may have been released but I still have this problem in 11.04 Natty (Gnome). How do I actually fix this?

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

Hi Seán

You see this because the upstream ga.po is missing the translation of the Downloads string. Currently, Ubuntu only packages the upstream version, so please submit an updated file here: http://translationproject.org/domain/xdg-user-dirs.html
