Bug Description

Just thought it might be a good idea to add comment lines in French and Turkish to the subdownloader.desktop file.

I'm using version 2.0.14-1 on Ubuntu Lucid amd64 and the modified file seems to work fine in GNOME 2.30.2.

Why you think is a good idea to set the description in .desktop file in French and Turkish too?
In my opinion I think is not a good idea to add it for 3 reasons:

1) If we add French and Turkish, we should also add all the other languages
2) Adding all the other languages, the .desktop file will become very heavy, and Ubuntu point to lightness too
3) English is an international language

What is the opinion of the other?

Actually we could add that english line into our .po file and update the transltionn .po here in our Rossetta in order for anybody to translate it if they want to, so far more than 40 languages available.

We could then have an small line in our script after downloading the latest .po to patch the .desktop file everytime.

I don't know if adding other languages in the .desktop file is a problem but you're the developers so I trust your opinion. The problem is that although English is an international language, there are many people who don't speak it or who are simply more comfortable with their native tongue.

I think the capiscuas' proposal is a good balance: the file remains small and the translations can be included. Now the coders have to code :p
