       then the user will be prompted to make a decision on whether to update the XDG User Directories to the new locale or leave them unchanged.

       The  original  locale  that  was  used  to  create  the initial set of XDG User Directories on first login is stored in the file ${XDG_CON-
       FIG_HOME}/user-dirs.locale.

       Should the user decide to update to the current locale, then xdg-user-dirs-update will be used to perform the desired action.
