Description

Hi,

the qgis.desktop file for GNOME/KDE/Freedesktop.org menus and desktop icons includes a translation of "Geographic Information System" for just one language.

https://issues.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/repository/revisions/master/entry/debian/qgis.desktop

In grass ticket #1573 ( https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1573 ) we've collected a few more*, but are still limited to en, de, cs, fr, it, pl, and es.

[*] https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/gui/icons/grass.desktop

can anyone supply more?

thanks,
Hamish

jef, when you say "more from wikipedia" you mean you did some research by going through the "GIS" page for each language and looking at the title, not cut & pasting some existing list, right?

Consider changing the English version from "GenericName=Geographical Information System" to "Geographic ...".

thanks,
Hamish
