Comment 6 for bug 414704

I understand that the translations are stripped from the desktop files and put in separate packages. The thing is that we use the same desktop-file reading library as the gnome-panel menu does, libgmenu, and the same code works fine on Jaunty, so I'm a bit worried as to where the issue is creeping in. As I was unable to get my gnome-panel-menu to read the translations, I was wondering if it was a system-wide issue, but as you do have translated menus, there's obviously something wrong elsewhere.

I've been unable to test a clean image until today, but I'll do that now and report my findings.
