Can't speak to the general cases, but in this case, it's an addition
to an upstream package, which makes the translating process tricky, as
it requires merging multiple source control repositories.
For those who don't know, normally the way we do this is we put the
desktop file in the redhat-menus package (which is translated on elvis)
and install the file into /usr/share/desktop-menu-patches. Then, we ship
a symlink in, e.g., the compiz package from the file
to /usr/share/applications.
