When I changed my language/locale settings, a window popped up asking me if I wanted to rename Documents, Music, Video, Downloads, to the new language.



I was worried that this might be some irreversible operation and said no and ticked the don't ask me again box.



Now I want the system to change the folders name automatically when I switch to another language automatically. Is there a way to do this? or to make the popping window appear again?



Thanks.

When you told it to not ask you again, it probably removed the file



~/.config/user-dirs.locale


You can re-create that file. Assuming that the folders currently have English names, open a terminal window and run:



echo 'en_US' > ~/.config/user-dirs.locale
