Well, throwing away all existing translations doesn't sound like a smart idea.

How about: rename all .desktop.in files to .desktop in your local tree. Then run
intltool-prepare in the ooo-build toplevel directory. That should move all
existing translations to po files (and generate .desktop.in files). Then delete
the .desktop files.

Now generate .desktop files in the same way as during a normal build and
check that the result is at least as good as the old files.

I have tried the first steps (until intltool-prepare), but haven't
checked the result
yet, would be nice if you could do that.

Thanks,

Martin
