** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ The version of dh_translations, which was present when gnome-characters
+ was last uploaded, resulted in a .desktop file with the wrong gettext
+ domain, so the name of the application in e.g. the Activities overview
+ is always shown in English.
+
+ Meson support has been added to dh_translations since, so a no-change
+ rebuild is sufficient to fix the issue.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ On a system with some other language but English:
+
+ * Install the gnome-characters .deb package
+
+ -> find that its name is "Characters".
+
+ * Install the rebuilt version of gnome-characters
+
+ * Relogin
+
+ -> find that its name is the translation of "Characters"
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ None.
+
+ [Original description]

$ tail -n1 /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Characters.desktop
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=$PACKAGE_NAME
dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging to
the old build system. configure.ac contains this line:
GETTEXT_PACKAGE=$PACKAGE_NAME
and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things.
The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up, but
I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept a
domain starting with '$'.
