Subject description: does what it says above		  
This script will automatically Translate your .desktop files into the given language, using Google.

NOTE, translations will not be perfect, sometimes really bad, but it is a start.
Existing translations for the chosen language will not be replaced.

Save the code below into a script called 'dotdesktop_translate' and make it executable.
Move it to /usr/local/bin, or similar, then run the script through the terminal, like so:

Code:
dotdesktoptranslate LANG

LANG could be any Google supported language code: de, es, fr, ru, nl, jp, and so on.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
[ "$1" = "" ] && echo "Usage: $(basename $0) LANG
LANG can be any language supported by Google translate:
es, de, fr, ru, nl, jp, etc" && exit
LOC=$1
DIR="/tmp/${LOC}"
[ -d ${DIR} ] || mkdir ${DIR}
for file in /usr/share/applications/*; do
   name=""
   name_loc=""
   # get the english name
   [ -f $file ] && name=$(cat $file | grep '^Name=')
   # cut out anything google translate does not like
   name=${name#*[}
   name=${name%]*}
   name=${name#*=}
   # do not translate the word Puppy
   name=${name/Puppy /xpupx }
   name=${name/cli /console } # fix for other langs
   name=${name/CLI /console } # fix for other langs
   desc=`echo ${name#* }`
   desc_lower=`echo $desc | tr A-Z a-z` # make lower case
   [ "$desc" != "$name" ] && name=${name/$desc/$desc_lower} # make description lower case in name
   # now check $file for translation we created
   checkname=$(cat "$file" | grep "^Name\[$LOC\]")
   if [ "$checkname" = "" ];then
      echo "Please wait, translating '$(basename $file)' to $LOC..."
      # translation not found, so get translation from Google, sleep a bit, or Google reports 'abuse of service' as a translation :(
      sleep 4.${RANDOM}
      name_loc=`wget -qO- "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=${name}&langpair=en|${LOC}" | sed 's/.*"translatedText":"\([^"]*\)".*}/\1\n/'`
      # put 'Puppy' back in
      name_loc=${name_loc/xpupx /Puppy }
      name_loc=${name_loc/\u0026\#39\;/\`} # correction for french
      # create proper menu entry
      name_loc=Name[${LOC}]=${name_loc}
      # create file containing the translation, for backup purposes
      #echo $name_loc > $DIR/$(basename $file)
      # if all is well, add the translation to $file
      [ "$(echo $name_loc | grep responseData)" = "" ] && [ "$name_loc" != "" ] && echo "$name_loc" >> "$file"
      echo "Added $LOC translation to $(basename $file)...
      "
   else
      echo "Translation for $LOC already exists in $(basename $file)...
      "
   fi
done

#remove backup files created
#rm $DIR/*
#rmdir $DIR

Unfortunately, I think this script does not work anymore, as Google changed/removed their API Sad

Can you modify this script, so that translate in text file?
Google to replace a language text file.
