The variant of metainfo.its shipped by appstream may cause issues. See this Ubuntu bug for an example.

Two questions:

  1. Was Allow release description translations #186 a good idea? (For cases where devs choose to use {metainfo,appdata}.xml as a replacement for e.g. NEWS, it's really not a good idea to bother the translators with all those strings.)

  2. Considering that gettext ships metainfo.{its,loc}, is it motivated that appstream does so as well?
