GNOME uses intltool for this. Look at how gnome-terminal generates its
.desktop file, for instance: gnome-terminal.desktop.in.in (the actual
source) does not contain any translations at all, and strings from
po/*.po are merged into it at build-time.

(You might only need one layer of ".in" if the .desktop file contains
hard-coded paths, but in general you'll need one layer for intltool, and
one for Automake substitutions like @bindir@, hence ".in.in".)
