Most of the GNOME packages should already use a internationalization mechanism (intltool) upstream; if they are not using it, they should. Maintaining desktop file translations separately is error-prone and the translations will probably get stale (new translators are very likely not to notice that they need to update the desktop file, and manual adding of the translations puts a burden on the maintaner). I don't know how KDE does it, but the desktop files come translated from upstream too :) Mirek
