Sorry, but you don't seem to get it. '.desktop' files are a special case, they don't pick translations from '.mo' files, the 'gimp.desktop' file is generated from 'gimp.desktop.in' by 'intltool-merge' picking the translations from the PO files in the source tree. Since Ubuntu modified the English string in the PO file, if the PO files modified in launchpad isn't there, then it'll not pick the translation and we will end with English only '.desktop' file and subsequently unlocalised menu entry. So either don't change the already translated upstream file, or fix the localisation of the changed one.
