Hi Israel,

Maybe these links will help you (I searched for localization in linux)

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/linux-localization-for-beignner-569681/

https://superuser.com/questions/365847/where-should-the-xdg-config-home-variable-be-defined

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale

-----

Example: I use

 test -f ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/user-dirs.dirs \
 && source ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/user-dirs.dirs
 dsktop="${XDG_DESKTOP_DIR:-$HOME/Desktop}"

to set the dsktop variable in a script to install mkusb from phillw.net,
so that the desktop file will be installed into the desktop directory
according to the locale (Swedish, French, German, Spanish ...)

Best regards
Nio
