The Desktop Entry Spec far predates shared-mime-info IIRC. And besides, 
desktop files provide a superset of mime-type info. There's probably a good 
underlying question here (such as why use .desktop files for mime types now 
that we have shared-mime-info) but the reason Name fields in .desktop files 
are translated is an easy enough answer.
