Impossible to update translations

[Riccardo Padovani]

When a developer tries to update translations following usual commands (qmake && make pot in po/ directory) there is an error, and no new file is generated:

mkdir -p ../.build
awk 'BEGIN { FS="=" }; /Name/ {print "var s = i18n.tr(\42" $2 "\42);"}' ../ubuntu-calculator-app.desktop > ../.build/ubuntu-calculator-app.desktop.js
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `../ubuntu-calculator-app.desktop' for reading (No such file or directory)
make: *** [desktopfile] Error 2

It affects all core apps. I supposed is cause by recent passage to cmake

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Mmm.. this is no good. cmake does build the translations. Some files were renamed, perhaps the tool is looking in the wrong place now.

I made the following change to the music app and it seemed to build the po files:

I mean modify the pot file, not build the po files.
