Ubuntu Software (Snap Store) desktop launcher Name isn't translated in Ubuntu 20.04

Ubuntu Software (Snap Store) desktop launcher Name isn't translated in Ubuntu 20.04 :(

I've just installed latest versions with command 'snap refresh snap-store' and got 2020-06-02 snap installed, but there are no translations of /snap/snap-store/454/meta/gui/ubuntu-software.desktop in any language :(

Translation string "Ubuntu Software" is added to translation template and translated since March 2020, see:

English: Ubuntu Software
Current Lithuanian: Ubuntu programų centras

One part of the issue is probably the same as bug #1878672, the string despite being available on launchpad isn't available in the gnome-software.mo installed

Unsure if that would be enough to have the translation merged back in the .desktop generated then though

String "Ubuntu Software" is available in few languages gnome-software.mo of snap-store from latest/beta channel, but desktop launcher still is not translated ("Ubuntu Software" is displayed in Activities) when I start user session in these languages:

$ snap info snap-store |tail -n3

This seems to be still valid bug on up-to-date Ubuntu 20.04 (and the same snap on openSUSE).

While Ubuntu Software is untranslated, I can see that in another desktop session (GNOME Flashback) Snap Store is translated.
