Description: Create a link (with "ln -s") into the desktop from the service menu, similar to microsoft windows explorer. This service menu feature a quick simple install, no deb/rpm/sh... required just the desktop file nothing more

Hi , Could you add support for multiple languages? create a shortcut on the desktop does not work if you do not have the folders in English.
just change the string:
Exec=ln -s %F ~/Desktop
To:
Exec=/bin/bash -c "ln -s %F $(cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | grep DESKTOP | cut -d'"' -f2)"
suggestion: you could add the "Link Here" option and insert everything in the "actions" menu
Like so:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=all/all;
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
Actions=sendDesktop;LinkHere
X-KDE-Submenu=Send To...
X-KDE-Submenu[it]=Invia a...
InitialPreference=99
Version=5.21
[Desktop Action sendDesktop]
Name=Send to Desktop (ln -s)
Name[it]=Invia Alla Scrivania (ln -s)
Exec=/bin/bash -c "ln -s %F $(cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | grep DESKTOP | cut -d'"' -f2)"
Icon=desktop
[Desktop Action LinkHere]
Name=Create Link Here (ln -s)
Name[it]=Crea Collegamento (ln -s)
Exec=/bin/bash -c "ln -s %F ./Link"
Icon=desktop
btw good job

6 Missing the implementation of other languages besides English, I will raise the vote if it is implemented.
