Our field names do not start with _

The only field names we translate in .desktop-like files are

Name|Comment|Language|Keywords|X-KDE-Keywords|About|Description|GenericName|
Query|ExtraNames|X-KDE-Submenu

If your field names are "standard-enough" i guess we can add them to the 
standard tools, if not you can always try using the StaticMessages.sh trick we 
use in kdeconnect-android that lets you create a .po file and then receive the 
translated .po files in a bash function so you can "integrate" them into your 
project (in this case the .desktop-like file)
