Comment 15 for bug 204705

Martin, can you please take a look at it? Thanks!

Here's a brief possible explanation of the problem, given by Danilo:

<danilo> Ursinha: so, there are several possible problems there
<danilo> Ursinha: this is coming from static files (i.e. most likely a .desktop file)
<danilo> Ursinha: Ubuntu language packs don't update translations for static files, with the caveat that .desktop files are handled by a hack in Ubuntu's gettext implementation (I accidentally ran into that, I don't know much about it, but guys like Colin Watson or Martin Pitt might know about that)
<danilo> Ursinha: so, even if something is translated in Launchpad, and has been put into a language-pack by Ubuntu guys, it won't get updated in the .desktop file directly
<danilo> Ursinha: in Ubuntu, however, some .desktop files seem to use the X-Ubuntu*: header to help Ubuntu hack work
<danilo> Ursinha: that's something you should definitely check with Ubuntu packagers on how's that working
<danilo> Ursinha: for anything else, there's not much we can do except for Ubuntu packagers to rebuild Ubuntu package of the affected program with translations imported from Launchpad
