<p>I'm not sure what is currently done, but I'm pretty sure in Chakra we used to create localized versions (and I think even Ubuntu did that), so instead of ~/Desktop, a German user would have ~/Schreibtisch. There's actually an xdg standard for this, <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs</a>. Afaik, Qt supports this with QStandardPaths, e.g. QStandardPaths::DesktopLocation.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R241 KIO</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D11768">https://phabricator.kde.org/D11768</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, Dolphin, Gwenview, Frameworks, VDG<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>fabiank, progwolff, broulik, michaelh, ngraham<br /></div>
