Title:
  xdg-user-dir does for root does not return the locale names of the
  directories

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

Bug description:
  When upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, the root user does not
  receive the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and thus the locale names
  are not translated.

  Example:

  $ sudo bash
  [sudo] password for gga:

  # xdg-user-dir DESKTOP
  /root/Desktop

  With the proper (Spanish) .config/user-dirs.dirs:

  $ sudo bash
  [sudo] password for gga:

  # xdg-user-dir DESKTOP
  /root/Escritorio
