--- Comment #1 from Andre Miranda <andreldm at xfce.org> ---
It's necessary to update the translation domain, for this you need to change
the package name set in AC_INIT at configure.ac.in.

I have no idea why the original devs decided to use "Thunar", investigating a
bit I found the following commits:
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/?id=1212ec4
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/?id=bb18fa8

The first one is the most important, besides learning that Thunar was initially
written in Python, one can notice that back then uppercased binaries were
already created (see Makefiles). Then in 2011 Nick decided to rename the binary
to "thunar" and rename symlink to "Thunar" to keep compatibility.

I think it's safe to change the translation domain and rename the .mo file,
just not completely sure.

If we decide to go forward with this, we will also need to update "translation"
org.xfce.thunar.appdata.xml.in.
