[Gruppo traduzione] [Bug 523121] Re: Menu entries should show the application name *before* the description

[Milo Casagrande]

The passage from the old way (Name - GenericName) of translating the
.desktop menu entries to the new one (X-GNOME-Fullname) has been done
due to the modifications of the freedesktop specifications, and also
because in Italian, using the Name before the description, would have
been grammatically incorrect.

With the future passage to gnome-shell, this will not be the case
anymore, since looks like there will only be the Name visible.

If you really want to see the name of the application in the menu, you
need to ask each application to change their .desktop file accordingly,
or to ask for a global gconf key where you can "decide" what to show in
the menus (be it Name, GenericName, FullName).

What you see with Rhythmbox and gwget are definitely wrong translations.
Rythmbox has been fixed too late in the cycle to be included with the
default Ubuntu language-pack (will probably be with the next one), gwget
was not fixed at all.

An example where the pattern "Name - GenerciName" will not work is with
Totem: you will never find the name of the application.

Marking as invalid.
