Hmmm, in swedish it is translated.
A common problem with the translated-names-on-disk approach is that some
applications don't use the correct win32 api to locate these
directories, but instead just use the english names. Maybe this is what
happened to you, or maybe its different in different locales.
no in german it always was desktop on all windows installs since 95.
