On my distro I have:
/usr/share/desktop-directories/
which contains only kde-<application_name>.directory files. I assume each
distro is different.

I leave the devs to talk about this as I do not know, but if you look inside
/etc/xdg/menus/enlightenment.menu
you will find references for the directories that e seems to scan to find your
distro's menu lists; e.g.
<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<Directory>Applications.directory</Directory>
<!-- Scan legacy dirs first, as later items take priority -->
<LegacyDir>/etc/X11/applnk</LegacyDir>
<LegacyDir>/usr/share/gnome/apps</LegacyDir>
<KDELegacyDirs/>
<!-- Read standard .directory and .desktop file locations -->
<DefaultAppDirs/>
<DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
<!-- Read in overrides and child menus from applications-merged/ -->
<DefaultMergeDirs/>

Can't you manually edit the relevant .directory file and add your preferred
German description for LibreOffice?
