Description scootergrisen 2017-03-30 13:28:37 UTC 
When i boot into Xfce i see desktop files like /home/gentoo/Desktop/'User Handbook.desktop' that appear to be only in english.

I look for ways to translate distributions to my language.

It seems https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/contribute/ only have instructions on how to translate the wiki pages.

So i would like instructions to be added on how to translate these "*.desktop" files to my language.

Reproducible: Always

Reassigning to bug-wranglers@ for help -- I don't think ten@ or release@ is the right assignment. Do we have a translation team? A documentation team?

The right place to translate upstream desktop files is upstream.

Closing because here is no bug in an ebuild.
