Title:
  GVim desktop entry is not translatable

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim

  The desktop entry in Applications > Accessories > GVim Text Editor
  appears untranslated in all languages and cannot be translated.

  This is due to the desktop file being shipped with static translations
  in the source package (debian/gvim.desktop), but only for the
  "Comment" section.

  Ideally, the file should be renamed to gvim.desktop.in, translations
  removed (they should be in the PO files anyway) and the Name and
  Comment section be prefixed with an underscore for their strings to be
  extracted by intltool and merged into the POT template.

  Additionally, in order for them to be translatable in Launchpad and
  used in the distro, the 'X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain' key should be added
  to the .desktop.in file (see
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Internationalisation#Desktop%20Entries)
