Originally, the desktop-entry-spec set the Icon field as "string". It was changed in 2006 to "localestring" which means it is translatable.
Recently in GNOME, many projects have switched from intltool to gettext. gettext treats the Icon field as a translatable string without a way for projects to disable that. In GNOME, we include a comment to warn translators not to translate the Icon field but translators sometimes don't see the comment. That causes breakage because no one is providing translated icons here. Could we please change the Icon field back to "string"?
