I am not 100% sure but I think this is not the problem.
In trac/web/chrome.py (see comment 64), label are retrieved and translated
except if there is an overriding label in base.ini (for instance 'Tickets'
and 'Source').
Bloodhound take the data as it is ('Ticket' and 'Source') except for
"Tickets" which got a special treatment (replace the href) which has a
side result of translating 'Ticket' because we force the translation:
{{{#!python
if item['name'] == 'tickets':
item['label'] = tag.a(_(self.mainnav_label),
href=req.href.dashboard())
}}}
If you want to have the same result for 'Source', we have also to
duplicate that code for 'Source' (except that in our case we don't want to
change the href, we just want to replace 'Source' by its translation).
It is my interpretation (I can be wrong). I can use a regexp to replace
the 'Source' if you think it will be more efficient than genshi filters ?
