Quite so.  A quick grep in /usr/share/applications turns up many examples of 
multilingual .desktop files.  Here is the top of a small one.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Audacity
Name[de]=Audacity
Name[ru]=Audacity
GenericName=Sound Editor
GenericName[de]=Audio-Editor
GenericName[ru]=Редактор звуковых файлов
Comment=Record and edit audio files with multitrack capability
Comment[de]=Audio-Dateien aufnehmen und bearbeiten
Comment[ru]=Запись и редактирование звуковых файлов

Can we generate a fully multilingual .desktop, but tell izPack to just install 
it as is?  There must be some way of convincing it a file does not need i18n or 
it would be trying to translate the .jars:-).

Either way, I do not think this feature merits rewriting the installer.  We 
have harder FreeCol-specific problems.
