[Bug 1763471] Re: dh_translations should handle AppStream metadata also

[Jeremy Bicha]

Hmm, the summary field for /usr/share/metainfo/software-properties-
gtk.appdata.xml is translated into Swedish (and shows up in GNOME
Software that way; you might need to restart GNOME Software for changes
to be recognized). It's already translated because I reused the string
from the .desktop for it and there are .po files in the package (but
they are ancient!).

I don't know why the Name field isn't similar translated.

So we can manually import the .po files for these packages to the
package itself to get translations but it would be nice if we could use
language packs instead since we haven't really been manually importing
translations recently and it's easy to forget to do even if we started
doing it.

Title:
  dh_translations should handle AppStream metadata also

Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had to add AppStream metadata to software-properties and update-
  manager so that we could mark these two packages as unremovable in the
  Ubuntu/GNOME Software app.

  AppStream metadata is translatable but I suspect that we don't really
  have a system for the Launchpad translations to be made available to
  Ubuntu users.

  The metadata are .xml files stored in /usr/share/metainfo/ (or the
  legacy /usr/share/appdata/ )
