Details:

Incidentally I made this observation:

$ echo $LANGUAGE

$ echo $(LC_MESSAGES=sr_RS.UTF-8@latin gettext -d gnome-desktop-3.0 'Latin')
Латиница

Or in English: The message catalogue
/usr/share/locale/sr@latin/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-desktop-3.0.mo does not include
any translation of "Latin", which makes gettext pick the translation from
/usr/share/locale/sr/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-desktop-3.0.mo. I would have expected
it to use the msgid string instead.

Is this intentional or a bug?
