I had missed adding language codes (fa, hi, ne), it's first time
to see such a gigantic language, that's great ;)

Please take a look at the following (as far as I know just three)
cases,

    Xfglob.desktop

    Name=File find utility
    Name[es]=Utilería de búsqueda
    Name[fr]=Recherche sur disque
    Name[ja]=ファイル検索ユーティリティ
    Name[ko]=화일 검색 도구
    Comment=File find utility
    Comment[es]=Búsqueda de archivos
    Comment[fr]=Recherche de fichiers
    Comment[ja]=ファイル検索ユーティリティです
    Comment[ko]=화일 검색 도구

    By the way, 'Name=File find utility' has extra trailer space,
    (so actually "File find utility ") is it also your intention?

    Xfmime_edit.desktop

    Name=Mime-icon editor
    Name[es]=Editor de iconos tipo mime
    Name[fr]=Editeur de types MIME et icônes associées
    Name[ja]=MIME アイコンエディタ
    Name[ko]=마임-아이콘 편집기
    Comment=Mime-icon editor
    Comment[es]=Editor de iconos tipo mime
    Comment[fr]=Gestion des types MIME
    Comment[ja]=MIME アイコンエディタです
    Comment[ko]=마임-아이콘 편집기

    xfce-filemanager-settings.desktop

    Comment=File Manager Settings
    Comment[et]=Failihalduri seaded
    Comment[fi]=Tiedostonhallinnan asetukset
    Comment[fr]=Paramétrage du gestionnaire de fichiers
    Comment[he]=הגדרות מנהל הקבצים
    Comment[ja]=ファイルマネージャの設定を行います
    Comment[ko]=화일 관리자 설정
    Comment[nl]=Instellingen voor bestandsbeheer
    Comment[ru]=Настройки файлового менеджера
    Comment[zh_TW]=設定檔案管理程式
    GenericName=File Manager Settings
    GenericName[es]=Manejador de archivos
    GenericName[et]=Failihalduri seaded
    GenericName[fi]=Tiedostonhallinnan asetukset
    GenericName[ja]=ファイルマネージャ設定
    GenericName[ko]=화일 관리자 설정
    GenericName[nl]=Instellingen Bestandsbeheer
    GenericName[ru]=Настройки файлового менеджера

As above, you'd notice translators don't always follow the original
English, sometimes having different translation for their needs. I
don't know what kind of intention there is, but please re-consider
if it isn't require, the must.

Also, you might think it's redundant creating a new PO file has less
than 10 strings, but I think it'll be effective, especially on
modifying an original string i.e. if you'll change string, it'll been
reflected immediately via intltool in PO files, otherwise you have no
way letting translators know your modifying other than posting ML or
it'll be checked translator (including me) themselves.

I've restored whole obsolete translation in the each PO files,
migrated translations in desktop files to those files, fixed
error (msgid "%ld xxx" : msgstr "%l xxx", msgid "%s xxx" : msgstr
"xxx"), it's really large (tar bzip2, 278k). Well, can I send a
mail to you directly?

PS. A results.patch is just showing there's no lack of translation.

Regards,
