Localize folders in home directory in PCLOS Debian

« Ohjeita

If using JWM Desktop .. or maybe other desktop too, in PCLOS Debian seems to be had coded english folders. The solution is to edit /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults file and then run make-default-folders script.

pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY pluma

… open /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults file and edit how you want. An example Finnish settings.

# Default settings for user directories
#
# The values are relative pathnames from the home directory and
# will be translated on a per-path-element basis into the users locale
DESKTOP=Työpöytä
DOWNLOAD=Lataukset
TEMPLATES=Mallit
PUBLICSHARE=Julkinen
DOCUMENTS=Asiakirjat
MUSIC=Musiikki
PICTURES=Kuvat
VIDEOS=Videot
# Another alternative is:
#MUSIC=Documents/Music
#PICTURES=Documents/Pictures
#VIDEOS=Documents/Videos

… after editing run make-default-folders script, which contenst is

#!/bin/bash

mv $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs.backup
sleep 1

#Desktop-session xdg build variables

function LOCATIONS {
LOCATION=$1
if [ ! -d "$LOCATION" ]; then
say "Location does not exist; making"
mkdir -p $LOCATION;
chmod 0700 $LOCATION;
fi
}
