GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 720851
Pull geary.desktop internationalizable strings from geary.desktop.in
Last modified: 2014-01-28 23:03:11 UTC
Right now, due to limitations of our CMake script, translatable strings in the .desktop file must be present in our source code to be scraped by gettext. (Today they're located in src/client/application/geary-application.vala.) What we really want is to be like any other GNOME project where they're scraped straight from the .desktop.in file and added to the geary.pot file. Perhaps bug #713827 will fix this, or it'll need to be fixed separately.
bug #713827 did indeed fix this.
