Hi @philippe1973. Thanks for the report. I cannot reproduce this, unfortunately.

Hmm, just out of curiosity I tried to reproduce this and I successfully did. My system language is set to Dutch, but just for this issue I created a folder called ‘Téléchargements’ and it did not save the image there. It did, however, save it when I selected ‘Downloads’ instead. So this does seem to be a real issue. I'm also using KDE Plasma, but 5.26 on openSUSE Tumbleweed and WhatsApp for Linux compiled from git instead of Flatpak like the OP.
