Changing translations is something that needs to happen upstream, and needs to have buy-in. The most realistic plan of attack, imo is to add a new field, e.g DescriptiveName and define that the value can contain placeholders for the name and generic name. Then we can add DescriptiveName=%N - %G or similar, which will work for a good number of locales, and still allow DescriptiveName[de]=Donnervogel, bringt die Post to override on a per-locale basis. As you can see, this requires a desktop entry spec addition, unless you want to go X-Fedora-, which I wouldn't recommend. Also, it may need gnome-menus api additions. In any case, this is not F8 material. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
