[Bug]: translated readme.md (for the folder) doesn't show when switching language

[audunmb]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

Readme.md-files are saved as lesmeg.md when I use Nextcloud in Norwegian. Though, when someone uses Nextcloud in English, the lesmeg.md-file is not interpreted as a readme.md-file for that folder, and it is not shown as a description for that folder.

I guess this happens with other languages as well.

Steps to reproduce

1. Change language setting to Norwegian
2. Add a description to a folder (which is saved as lesmeg.md)
3. Change language setting to English
4. Open folder and observe that the description isn't showing.

Expected behavior

Expected behaviour is that folder descriptions are shown regardless of which language the user has.

I guess the current behaviour is the result of having an option to have translated folder descriptions, but when the result is that folder descriptions aren't shown at all if a user has a different language than what is used for the default description this is a bug.

As in my case, multilingual users will have no problem reading folder descriptions in Norwegian, despite choosing English as the default language (or vice versa).

@audunmb Thanks for your report. You have a point. We'll need to discuss how best to address this.

@max-nextcloud is there a workaround until this is fixed? For non english and non technically skilled persons it's currently not possible to add folder descriptions.

Update: Just double checked on NC29.0.7 and realized that folder descriptions are now recognized even if those are automatically translated. Can you confirm that this issue was fixed in the meantime?
