Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory (itsfoss.com)

If you are using a rolling release distro like Arch, you might have noticed that your home directory now has a new member, a new folder called "Projects".

For as long as I remember, Linux has always had a set of default folders under the home directory. Usually they are Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and Downloads. Templates, Desktop and Public folders are also there.

Now we have a new addition in the form of "Projects".

Idk, XDG is weird.
"Music", "Documents", "Downloads", "Public" and "Templates" are in Ukrainian;
"Public" and "Downloads" are duplicated in English;
"Desktop" is just English;
"Images" is in Russian for me for some reason.

No Projects despite me updating recently, I guess it just gave up.

That sounds like a translation deficiency. You should contribute a fix.

I personally think music should be renamed audio so it fits the generic names of the others.
