Problem with MacOS 10.10.4 - the Desktop folder has been renamed, how do I get everything back?

There was a problem - I noticed that I renamed the "Desktop" folder to "Desktop".
I tried to return everything back with the command
mv /Users/user/Desktop /Users/user/Рабочий стол
, but as one would expect, there is no result.
Unfortunately, I don't know the terminal well, so I don't know what to do.
I suspect that the .localized file (or something like that) has gone somewhere, which is responsible for the localized folder name.

Hooray! I figured out this problem: in MacOS, localization settings are stored in the bowels of the System folder, and Russian folder names (Desktop, image folders, etc.) are set in one localization file.
To display Russian names for such folders, but I could not rename them using MacOS, they are set by anchor files. .localized
If the Russian name for one of these folders is reset, such a file is most likely "lost".
To restore it is enough (in my case it was) to restore this file.
You can do this using the terminal:
- open the terminal
- using the command touch /path_to_folder/.localized - you may
need to reboot, although everything worked for me without it - just opened Finder and the folder was already with a Russian name
