Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-02-11 13:53:33 UTC 
I tried to install an app located on my Desktop folder with Konsole, problem is, the location is /home/user/Área de trabalho/
It could only read "/Área" and changing the path to "/Desktop" didn't work.

Creating a link/shortcut to the folder named "Desktop" works.

Is it possible to create secondary names for a folder? Then these translated names could be accessible with their english names.

Anyway, I'm requesting a method that would allow users to use the english names/paths of these known folders.

Also, most tutorials are in english with english paths in them, so this would allow non-english users to efficiently copy-paste these paths, only replacing the username.

I might be wrong, but some less robust apps do not recognize spaces and accents, so having "Desktop" as a secondary path for "Área de trabalho" would help with these apps.
