The strings are in .ini files, which need either inline translations, or a [Desktop Entry] group with X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain and listing the translatable Name, Description, Comment or GenericName key. Having these keys under another group, as all the lenses do it now with the [Lens] group, won't work. See these glib patches:
