Description
I've just installed a new nextcloud instance for a german nonprofit, and tested the german localization. I noticed that even when setting the default_locale to de_DE in config.php, new users will still get the international version of the skeleton directory.
I'm going to add a german translation of the skeleton directory on my local instance, by using the {lang}-placeholder in the skeletondirectory config variable.
However, I wondered how we could improve Nextcloud to already ship localized versions of the skeleton directory? What would be the best way to add this to the server source?

Research direction
Start by tracing the server's skeletondirectory configuration and its {lang} placeholder, then investigate how default_locale is applied when new users are created. The work is done when Nextcloud ships localized skeleton directories and selects the appropriate version for a user's locale without requiring a custom skeletondirectory setting.
