Comment 1 for bug 410234

Confirming in Karmic (in Finnish). However the menu entry is translated in Jaunty.

Looks like the desktop file src/xsane.desktop is not used (see debian/rules file) but instead the package uses file debian/xsane.desktop. This file contains the necessary string "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain".

I downloaded the source package and built it (apt-get source xsane and debuild) and installed the xsane-0.996-2ubuntu1-package. It installed the desktop file located under the debian directory and the menu entry was translated (.desktop file contains translations)! Then I reinstalled the package from repository the menu entry was again untranslated.

Can anyone explain this?
