For now the list of default list of download destinations contains ~/Desktop, ~/Downloads etc., but in non-English locales these directories usually have other names. To get a real name xdg-user-dir can be used, for example:

$ xdg-user-dir DESKTOP
/home/user/Рабочий стол

glib can already do this, calling xdg-user-dir utility is not required, see https://askubuntu.com/a/457584
