Feature #208: Better use of i18n tool features
Manage desktop/directory files in PO files
Description
As indicated in the man pages, it seems that intltool-prepare is able to handle *.desktop and *.directory files:
“For software packages that include some specific type of translatable files (such as .desktop and .soundlist), before they make use of intltool, translators have to dig through them one by one, and add their localization into each file. This process is error prone, since translators may include typing errors, or add their localization in wrong encoding. Besides, translators may not always know other files (beside .po files) are translatable.
intltool avoids all the problems above by extracting strings inside those translatable files into po template (.pot) file. All translators need to care about is just translating po files. Afterwards, intltool-merge(8) will merge localized strings into those files.“

The PO files are now generated and the Transifex resource has been created. However we still haven't tested the reverse generation of icon files from PO files. See:
