+organize sustainable translation process of .desktop files translation.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+Installed python-polib package:

+# urpmi python-polib
+
+I desktoppo.py:
+
+Usage:
+
+1. Copy the script into any folder with .desktop files.
+2. Run
+  python desktoppo.py
+3. Script will create .pot's for all .desktop's in the folder. Translate pot's and
+   rename the translations into <lang_code>.po
+4. Run
+  python desktoppo.py
+   once more to add your translations to .desktop files.
+
+If you ever need to update something (.desktop's were updated or you found a typo,
+etc.) just run

+translations.
