Description of problem: In Mageia 8, Classical ISO install, French locale selected, Desktop directory not translated into French "Bureau". ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is like: # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run. # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" <=== Translation bug XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Téléchargements" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Modèles" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Musique" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Images" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Vidéos" Regards,
I think this should be reported upstream and I think it is not a mageia specific issue. https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/

In KDE Neon (18.04), Kubuntu, OpenSUSE Leap 15.2, there is no such file and Desktop directory is correctly translated. Also, in "/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/xdg-user-dirs.mo", Desktop is correctly translated into "Bureau". I don't know what is wrong.
After checking upstream package, po file (fr.po) has correct strings translated.
See bug 23929. If there's anything in ~/Desktop, xdg-user-dirs-update will not rename it. It's an upstream design choice.

Here you mention an upstream's design choice if directory is not empty. OK, so WON'T FIX?. But, if default KDE Neon 18.04 and Kubuntu don't have both any files in ~/Desktop folder, OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 has 2 files: trash.desktop and home.desktop AND directory name is correctly translated in all systems. Sound crazy.

These two bugs do indeed look identical, so making this one a duplicate of 23929: "The folder Skrivbord is named Desktop in $HOME with a Swedish locale system setting" This looks like something for ERRATA. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23929 ***
