Windows 10: Desktop folder name in paths got translated into another language after OneDrive...

Hello,I tied my Desktop to a newly created OneDrive. Then I realized that some programs can't work with my files on Desktop, so I manually removed the Desktop form OneDrive folder by dragging it from there. The problem was still there and I realized that the Desktop folder got translated into OS default language, in this case Russian. Instead of "C:\Users\Username\Desktop" it is now "C:\Users\Username\Рабочий стол".I can't fix the problem by simply renaming it in File Explorer, because it retains it Russian path name, instead of being named "Desktop".

OneDrive translating paths to Hebrew. (Windows 11)

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

This might be caused by a language setting that is affecting how the path is displayed.

One way to fix this issue is to change the name of the desktop folder in OneDrive to "Desktop" instead of hebrew. Here's how you can do that:

Open the OneDrive website and sign in with your account.

Go to the folder where your desktop is saved.

Right-click on the "hebrew word" folder and select "Rename".

Change the name to "Desktop" and press Enter.

Once you have renamed the folder, try copying the path again and see if the issue persists. If it does, try changing the language settings in Windows to see if that fixes the problem.

To change the language settings in Windows, follow these steps:

Open the Settings app by pressing Windows + I.

Click on "Time & Language".

Click on "Language" in the left-hand menu.

Select "English (United States)" from the list of languages and click "Set as default".

Restart your PC.

Once you have changed the language settings, try copying the path again and see if the issue is resolved.

OneDrive translating paths to Hebrew. (Windows 11)

So, I've been having this problem.



All of my Desktop is saved on OneDrive on my PC, and for some reason, OneDrive decides to translate my desktop's name to "שולחן העבודה" instead of "Desktop".



I bought the PC in Israel and fully intend to used Hebrew as a language as well.



Now, I put "English (United States)" as my default language in my computer and so, every other thing apart from OneDrive is in English, but for some reason, when I copy any file's path which is in the "Desktop", it changes the path when I copy it to be in Hebrew. This causes some of my apps to malfunction if I save anything on the desktop and if I want to execute commands in CMD, it doesn't let me and says the path's syntax is incorrect. I've searched the "שולחן העבודה" folder in OneDrive, but it shows it in English. Apparently, only when I try to copy a path, it changes this and it's infuriating. Do you know how to fix this?
