Well, this is nice to have, thanks, but IMHO this does not fix the bug.
Can you think of any standard user that will go and edit this file to
get his Private folder translated?! Doing so manually is nonsense.

What we need is a kind of extension to xdg-user-dirs so that the dir
name is translated by default, and that if you change language, folder
names are changed accordingly. This could be achieved with a little
patch to the xdg-user-dirs code, specific to Ubuntu.

This is really required, because else ecryptfs-utils will be the only
program on the Desktop to introduce untranslatable strings, leading to
poor user experience. It would be a shame given that this program is
such a great piece of work!

It would be good if this 'Private' dir was included in the XDG User Dirs specification, since it is a common use case. But waiting for this, you may need something like a patch for xdg-user-dirs update to achieve this."
