DESKTOP

A .desktop file contains desktop entries or configuration files describing how a particular program is launched, how it appears in the menu, etc. It is widely used by KDE and Gnome. With .desktop files, the source file will have all translations, while the downloaded files will only have the strings in the respective language.
