Description Stephan Kulow 2007-05-04 08:51:42 UTC 
Yast modules install .desktop files that have translations from the last century. On package build autobuild overwrites these by means of suse_update_desktop files - but unfortunately these old translations appear to the translation system as "upstream" translation, giving them precedence.

So please remove them - at least from SVN, so they disappear module by module in the future.

For your convenience an always uptodate list:
grep -l SUSE-Overwrite /mounts/dist/unpacked/i386.full/usr/share/applications/YaST2/*.desktop
Comment 1 Jiri Srain 2007-05-04 09:02:35 UTC 
In the past, I was explicitly asked to add the translations to the .desktop files in SVN in some cases (don't remember the details).

Karl, could you, please, comment?
Comment 2 Karl Eichwalder 2007-05-08 08:07:15 UTC 
I do not member the details.  I think it would be the best to remove the translations as coolo said.  Another possibility would to update the translations in the .desktop files again and again (probably error prone, so let's avoid this).
Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2007-05-21 15:31:02 UTC 
The reason /mounts/dist has fewer files is that update-desktop-files is currently not uptodate in Factory. It will appear with all files later, so yes remove them
Comment 5 Jiri Srain 2007-05-25 11:40:26 UTC 
Just removed in SVN, not submitting to STABLE (since it is not urgent).
