From a message by Hans Petter Bieker on March 22

The desktop.mo file is not used by KDe
itself. Coolo runs some scripts which merges the .desktop files with your
translation. You will have to commit the file to test it (or run merging
youself).

Don't forget that the desktop.po file has to be in UTF-8 and that the file
has to be tagged as "utf8" or "utf-8" as well!
