I see this behavior in a regular install of Raring, *not* using a live
cd:

Observation:

If a user has no ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, it will be created at login
(or by calling "xdg-user-dirs-update"). However, this translates ony
some of the names to the current locale. In my case (German locale), for
example it translates

Music -> Musik
Pictures -> Bilder

however, the following names will *not* get translated:

Desktop
Templates
Public

These names will only get translated by calling "xdg-user-dirs-update --force". I believe that partial translation of names is a bug.
Could someone please confirm that this happens in a regular install of raring?

Steps to reproduce:
1. delete your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and ~/.config/user-dirs.locale
2. change to the German locale using the system menu
3. log out and log in
4. cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and observe that only some of the names have been translated to German

Title:
  XDG "Desktop" item not translated on Live CD

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “xdg-user-dirs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I switch the language on my Oneiric Live CD, other XDG
  directories are translated except the "Desktop" item. When I have a
  look inside ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, the string is untranslated
  (other strings in the file are translated all right). If I run xdg-
  user-dirs-update, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is updated to the correct
  translation. So I suppose that the default Live CD user is created by
  some not-localized hackish solution.

  If this seems not so important, since installed systems have the
  "Desktop" directory translated all right (at least I hope so, because
  my system has), it certainly affects all Ubuntu localized Live-CDs and
  makes them fail the basic "translated or not surface check".
