Title:
  On renaming Documents folder for new language no renaming occure - a
  second Document folder is created

Status in “xdg-user-dirs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The original system language for installation was US english. Some
  days ago I have decided to set the system to a different
  language(german). On new login the system ask if the names of the
  standard folders in the home directory should be kept, or should be
  renamed.

  On choosing renaming from US-enlish to german names there is no
  renaming.

  Instead a second Documents folder in german language is
  created(called: Dokumente).

  As a result I have two Documents folders. One called in english the
  other in german.

  The really big problem is that they contain different files and do not
  share the files with each other.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1.Install the system in US-English
  2. After finished installation use the system settings -> Language to set the language to german
  3.Restart the system
  4.After login the system ask if the standard folders in the home folder directory should be renamed: Choose yes, rename in german
  5.See that instead of renaming the old "Documents" folder still exist and just a second (in german) "Dokumente" folder was created.
  6. See taht the contained files a different for both folders

  Expected: The renaming should be a renaming and not a creation of a
  second standard Document folder in a different language(here: German:
  "Dokumente")
