The problem boils down to this:

I am using g_app_info_get_display_name() to look up the name of the app.
This *should* take the current locale into account. Seems that this is
broken.

I am not very knowledgeable on this, but it appears that the
translations are split from the .desktop files out into some .cache
files like /usr/share/applications/desktop.en_DK.utf8.cache.

Assuming that this is right, the problem is really that this behaviour
breaks glib, which would mean that all apps relying on GAppInfos are
broken, in which case The Right Fix (TM) is to patch glib (or revert to
the expected behaviour).
