Uh?  Why do you lose data?  I proposed that Control Center (or whatever)
should then ask you if you want to create new directories.  Further it might
also convert the data, ie. mv <OldDir> <NewDir>.

On the other hand, the translation part is basically just about how it
should be represented.  Have a look at Windows.  Windows installs programs
to C:\Programme, in a german windows at least.  In an English Windows, it'll
install to C:\Program Files, and obviously German and English programs can
ask Windows where the 'PROGRAM FILES' directory is.

Isn't that what we're talking about here as well?
