We already have an ini parser in the code.
Nice, I hope that UTF-8 won't cause problems for it. :-)

And what about adding other translations of game description into it's .desktop file?
No idea. Propose something? I only do the po files, because it's easy and nobody else does.
One option is to post them somewhere (ticket or post) and apply manually. But this will be repeated for each language...
Another option is to add them into .pot file and translate like ordinary strings. Then use script to put them into .desktop file (maybe should be run using cron, along with script to automatically update .pot and .po files, for example once per day). I think that KDE uses this or similar method so script might be already done and lie somewhere in their SVN repository.
