[Bug 85216] Re: changing the name of some application doesn't work

[Patrick Hétu]

The bug can be trigger in feisty with the gcalctool application for example:
Note: I do it with this language variable set: LANG="fr_CA.UTF-8"

 * right click the application menu and choose "edit menus" it open alacarte
 * choose the accessories menu and change the name of calculator for a other name
 * apply and quit in the accessories the caculator have not change is name

In the gcalctool package the fr.po file have those line:

#: ../gcalctool/gtk.c:1505 ../gcalctool.desktop.in.h:1
msgid "Calculator"
msgstr "Calculatrice"

so even if i modify the copy desktop file: .local/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop with alacarte
for my language like this:

Name[fr_CA]=zCalculatrice

gnome-desktop-item-edit still use the po file (.mo) and the name in the accessories menu is still "Calculatrice" 
instead of "zCalculatrice"

so like you say gnome-desktop-item-edit could change the Name=Calculator entry in the .desktop file for
anything else and the modification will work
