The problem is that the translations of the desktop file entries have different gettext contexts:
1) context = [key name] (Name, GenericName, ...) 2) context = [key name]|[additional sting] With this .desktop file the context is "Name|plasma containment": [Desktop Entry] # ctxt: plasma containment Name=Desktop 3) no context Currently we only lookup 1). To solve this bug we need to parse the "# ctxt:" comment and figure out a way to check if a lookup failed. ** Changed in: kde4libs (Ubuntu) Milestone: ubuntu-11.04-beta-2 => later ** Changed in: kde4libs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749379 Title: "Desktop" string is not translated in KDE -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
