This code gives me only English application name if .desktop file does not have "Name[*]" options (like in totem.desktop) but only "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain: totem":



from gi.repository import Gio

app = Gio.app_info_get_default_for_type('video/x-flv', True)

print app.get_name()

This like code gives me proper result for vlc.desktop.

Ubuntu Dash shows proper localized names for all applications.

How do I get localized names of application in python?

I found the solution. This code works perfect:



from gi.repository import Gio

from xdg.DesktopEntry import DesktopEntry



app = Gio.app_info_get_default_for_type('video/x-flv', True)

filename = app.get_filename()

de = DesktopEntry(filename)



print de.getName()
