I see this behavior in a regular install of Raring, *not* using a live cd:

Observation:

If a user has no ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, it will be created at login (or by calling "xdg-user-dirs-update"). However, this translates ony some of the names to the current locale. In my case (German locale), for example it translates

Music -> Musik
Pictures -> Bilder

however, the following names will *not* get translated:

Desktop
Templates
Public

These names will only get translated by calling "xdg-user-dirs-update --force". I believe that partial translation of names is a bug.
Could someone please confirm that this happens in a regular install of raring?

Steps to reproduce:
1. delete your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and ~/.config/user-dirs.locale
2. change to the German locale using the system menu
3. log out and log in
4. cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and observe that only some of the names have been translated to German
