You have added by hand the desktop file content with the translated strings.
If i remember, this is not the right way to do it.
There is a script witch extract the desktop file strings and put it in a .po
file for translators. When the translation is done, the .po file is updated
in svn and another script do the inverse job to add the translations strings
in the desktop files.

Using this way, the UTF8 encoding of translated string is respected, witch
cannot be done easily to edit by hand... Also the translation job of desktop
files is the same than GUI/DOC translations.

If you look in French i18n svn area, you can see :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n/fr/messages/extragear-graphics/

...you can seen some desktop_extragear_.... po files, for
digikamimageplugins for example, but not for digikam !

...this is why the desktop files translations in French (and certainly in
German) do not exist. I suspect than nobody work on digikam desktop
translation po file.

Here, you can see the template translation file (pot) for digikam desktop :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n/templates/messages/extragear-graphics/desktop_extragear-graphics_digikam.pot?revision=637395&view=markup

this is the file to translate and to rename in .po file before to commit in
translation folder...

Of course, this job do not be done directly by digiKam team. Translations
team must be contacted for that.

Friendly

Gilles
