Bug Description
Currently, desktopize.sh does not care about existing translations in .desktop files, however reusing those would be the expected behaviour. So here is reuse-translati
There is only one problem with it, the sed expression intended to replace \ by \\ does not work, don't know why - this makes the update of ar and he to fail.
For performance reasosns, desktopize.sh should also be modified, as the "update all po files" part would take ages to complete and it's unnecessary, given that the files would be uploaded to LP. I'm not sure however that this is the best solution - what happens if other distributions want to use g-a-i? :)

Thanks a lot Gabor.
That could potentially save a big amount of translation work. Michael, do you think you could have a look at the scripts?
