I use xdg.userDirs variables to configure bookmarks in GNOME’s file manager Nautilus. My GNOME desktop has a locale other than English configured. Unfortunately, that breaks my bookmarks, because the generated links are English but directories are not.—Why?
The xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update helper that runs on every login has translated my XDG folders to their locale correspondents. But the values of the xdg.userDirs
variables appear to be English not honoring the locale my desktop has configured.
Is there a way to get xdg.userDirs
values translated for the system or user locale?
