I mean I feel stupid typing it now, but I’ve been using Windows since I was 5 years old, and Linux for about 30 days. It was not apparent to me that many of my folders were actually shortcuts to stuff in my user directory, and now that I know to look out for them the location of my applications make sooo much more sense.
I don’t think that does an actual rewite point. A lot of the localisation features were done using file explorer. You can even “localise” folders yourself using custom desktop.ini files. But those changes only showed in file explorer.
Now email! In exchange the standard folders such as inbox are localised, but don’t have a fixed alias. So if doing administration you need to know the language of a mailbox to know the name of say the Calendar folder, so you can update permissions.
