Complete commit @1747 (intltool usage) With using intltool the localisation will fail cause of missing desktop.in file. Also the old desktop files are obsoleted by this commit. Also it is not necessary any more to have a './' in front of the files in POTFILES.in.

Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
Basically: Add your language code to the   ALL_LINGUAS=   line in configure.in,
then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file. Note: The strings
for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.

To update a specific translation, one may use intltool-update [lang]  (ie. 
intltool-update fr).

To update all translation files, use make update-po. You should only use it when
needed (before a release or when there were many changes in source code).


Helper scripts:

gen_translations_stats.sh	generate statistics about translations
regen_potfiles.sh		generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
