Well, this doesn't define a mimetype, it defines a plugin :-)

(e.g. it defines whether reading or writing is supported, which shared-mime-
info doesn't do).

The translated name is redundant indeed, though, it's not used, except when 
looking at the servicetype's associated plugins in keditfiletype.
