And by keeping the localized desktop file in the same package as the
application gives also translated entries in the menu, so that it
doesn't say

Sound Mixer
Qasmixer

in a danish environment, but rather

Lydmikser
Qasmixer

(I don't know what Qasmixer is or how it is properly capitalized)

The translations in the desktop file is not for the application, but for
the desktop shell or window manager or whatever is providing the menu.
