Bug Description
For translators' sake, could be interesting add comments explaing the .desktop key associated with message. I don't think this can be managed adding comments in .desktop file, like currently occurs in .c sources and similar.
Example
.desktop file contains
_Name=Web Browser
_Description=Browse the web
Related messages in .po file could appear like
# Translators: this message will be used as Name
msgid "Web Browser"
msgstr ""
# Translators: this message will be used as Description
msgid "Browse the web"
msgstr ""
