Add support for translations defined via X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain #292

Closed tsimonq2 closed 1 year ago

tsimonq2 commented 1 year ago

I'm submitting this upstream to be collaborative, but I can also understand why this could stay as a downstream patch. Not my decision, just figured I'd be nice and submit it. :)

The Lubuntu Global Team pointed out that some packages with Launchpad-based translations aren't being translated correctly in the LXQt menu. Further discussion can be found here.

In the interest of non-English users, we'll be carrying this in Lubuntu 23.04. If you guys have any code feedback, please let me know.

Thanks!

LXQt follows the "Desktop Entry Specification" of freedesktop.org as closely as possible. This is how values are localized in a desktop entry: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html

No worries, I agree this is non-standard and probably doesn't belong upstream.
