Well, this is nice to have, thanks, but IMHO this does not fix the bug. Can you think of any standard user that will go and edit this file to get his Private folder translated?! Doing so manually is nonsense.

What we need is a kind of extension to xdg-user-dirs so that the dir name is translated by default, and that if you change language, folder names are changed accordingly. This could be achieved with a little patch to the xdg-user-dirs code, specific to Ubuntu.

This is really required, because else ecryptfs-utils will be the only program on the Desktop to introduce untranslatable strings, leading to poor user experience. It would be a shame given that this program is such a great piece of work!
