[SRU] Non-english live-cd: some programs are in English although their name is in Non-english, and vice-versa

[Pierre Equoy]

[Impact]
Exo's desktop files are not translated in trusty amd64. This can be fixed by a rebuild (tested in ppa).

[Test Case]
Check exo-util's .desktop files for translations, only 3 are in trusty amd64, with many more in the i386 version.

[Regression potential]
Low
The only way this will regress is if an dependency of exo has been modified in trusty to the point it would break exo.

[Original Description]

Test done using VirtualBox 4.2.16 and the Xubuntu ISO found here:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/314/builds/66872/downloads

After selecting French and "Essayer Xubuntu" (Try Xubuntu), Xubuntu starts with the interface mostly in French.

However, some programs are listed in English in the XFCE main menu:
- Web Browser
- File Manager
- Terminal Emulator
- Contribute to Xubuntu
- Xubuntu Website

However:
- Web Browser launches Firefox in French (OK)
- File Manager launches Thunar in French (OK)
- Terminal Emulator launches the Terminal in French (OK)
- Contribute to Xubuntu and Xubuntu Website launch an English website (which is kind of OK)

But some other programs are named in French in the menu, but launch an English version of the software:
- Client de messagerie (e-mail client) launches Thunderbird in English (Not OK)

[Jackson Doak (noskcaj)]

The first three issues are in exo, and can be fixed by a rebuild.
The website needs work to be translated, see lp:797600
Thunderbird is a separate issue (the same for all the other packages listed in the chinese bug)

[Jackson Doak (noskcaj)]

When testing this, was thunderbird's language pack installed? e.g. thunderbird-locale-fr
