App names appear untranslated when listing their granted access

[David Planella]

I see this both under:
- System Settings > Security & Privacy > Location access
- and System Settings > Accounts > (tap on an existing account)

The names of the apps to which have been granted access appear in English, so I guess either their .desktop file translations are not being loaded, or whichever other file the app's name is read from is not internationalized.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

First we should check if the application names are translated in the first place. In my phone, I have the "Notifications" app shown as "Notifiche" which is correct. I'll now try the latest image and see if that's still the case.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

Even after updating to image #257, the Notifications app is translated in OA. As for the Contacts, sync-monitor is shipping a desktop file ("sync-monitor-contacts.desktop") which is not translated. I would suggest that sync-monitor is changed so that the contacts-sync.application file points to address-book-app.desktop, since that one is translated.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

The sync-monitor-calendar.desktop is also untranslated.

the "location" panel uses QSettings which doesn't support fetching localized value, I proposed a change to use the glib api instead that supports that

[Víctor R. Ruiz (vrruiz)]

There is a third place where application names must support localization, System Settings > Updates.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
