Description Florian Müllner 2017-05-30 00:56:22 UTC 
See patch. Moving on from intltool is a precondition for supporting meson, which looks like a good idea[0]

build: Drop intltool

intltool is unmaintained nowadays, while upstream gettext now allows
to extract strings from XML files and merge back translations according
to custom rules.
Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2017-07-12 16:33:14 UTC 
I don't consider translations for wallpapers of any value whatsoever.
