Explaining it a little better. If you send an icon to desktop by right-clicking on it and selecting "Add this launcher to desktop" and renaming, by clicking once on it and typing F2, the .desktop will change the line "Name=", thus it will work. It will ignore completely the line "Name[yourlocale]=".
If you comment the last line, "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=", it will use the localized line. If not, it completely ignores the localized lines and always use the "Name=" -- Can't rename _SOME_ icons when they are on destkop. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39002 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
