Works ok here, though there are some entries (from .desktop files) that
aren't translated that should be.  Like I have "Parametrage de l'ecran",
but I also have just "Desktop Settings", even though
xfce-backdrop-settings.desktop has a Name[fr]= entry.  Weird.  Oh, no it
isn't.  Seems like GenericName[fr] is missing, so it's using the English
GenericName.  Should probably first check GenericName[(locale)], then
Name[(locale)] if missing, then GenericName, then finally Name.  Hmm.

But anyway, no idea what the problem is that you're seeing.
Unfortunately I don't know all that much about i18n.  Did you try
deleting ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/menu-cache* and then running 'xfdesktop
- -reload'?  If that fixes it, I need to fix the cache...
