Bug Description
When using MigrationAssistance to retrieve Windows XP's (btw, are other OS's going to be supported?) documents, it will automatically place them in ~/Documents, ~/Music, ~/Pictures and ~/Video's, even when the language was set to Dutch and the corresponding folders thus had to be ~/Documenten, ~/Muziek, ~/Afbeeldingen and ~/Video's.
Thanks.

This also happens on my system with intrepid alpha3 candidate image 20080724.1 (amd64) and Windows Vista (32-Bit) as the import source. The result of the imported files looks quite confusing, since there are several duplicate folders in the new home directory (e.g. ~/Dokumente (which is empty) and ~/Documents (which contains the imported documents from Vista)).
Kind regards,
Jan
