Correction: I do see it in the live session, and I think the explanation
is that the ~/Desktop directory is created before xdg-user-dirs-update
is executed via autostart, and that in turn is because the
ubiquity.desktop file (for starting the installation) is located there.

One way to fix it may be to change the installer (casper?) so
ubiquity.desktop is placed in "xdg-user-dir DESKTOP" only after it has
been created via xdg-user-dirs-update.

However, if I complete a non-English installation, the ~/Desktop folder
is translated properly for me. So @Yousuf, if you see it on an installed
system, please provide details.

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".
