Intltool is great, but IMO it would take time to change everything over at this stage. Most of it would be simple leg work, but time consuming. All the xml files would have to be edited, adding underscores to the tags for all translatable strings.

You already have a script that seems to be working nicely. Is it worth the effort of switching tools just for 1 line of text in 1 desktop file?

The Debian patch adds a line in the style of:

Comment[de]=Decke Steinpaare mit einer Kugel in einer Welt voller Hindernisse auf

If that works, just point translators to this and have one of the devs update the file.

Hello Raoul,
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/intltool/

intltool is the standard tool for combining gettext with various
non-source formats, such as XML files.

Regards,
Erich

Speaking of translations; the enigma.desktop file (Freedesktop menu
entry for Linux systems) should also be translated:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667656

There are tools that will include the .desktop strings in the
translation data and update the .desktop at compile time with the
translations.
