[Solved] xdg-user-dirs strange characters

I've recently installed Gnome 3 on my new brand Arch Linux installation and I'm using xdg-user-dirs to have my common dirs under ~

I'm not English so xdg-user-dirs is translating my dirs for me to Catalan language, however it is doing it badly, for example the Music dir wich in Catalan is translated as Música appears renamed as Música, it seems that xdg doesn't like accents at all tongue

Any solution?

P.D.: Gnome 3 rulez, but is extremely hard to personalise.

Doubt this is anything to do with xdg, and almost certainly to do with your locale settings.  How are you viewing the files, some apps may also not be unicode aware.  I always use urxvt when when diagnosing locale issues.  How do the folder names look in urxvt?

Solved, I uncommented ca_ES.utf8 and ca_ES@euro under /etc/locale.gen, restarted and everything was ok then.
