16.2.3 Desktop Entry files
--------------------------
The programmer produces a desktop entry file template with only the
English strings. These strings get included in the POT file, by way of
‘xgettext’ (usually by listing the template in ‘po/POTFILES.in’). The
translators produce PO files, one for each language. Finally, an
‘msgfmt --desktop’ invocation collects all the translations in the
desktop entry file.
For more information, see the example ‘hello-c-gnome3’.
