MoManager handles .desktop files

The first release of MoManager manages gettext'ed scripts, announced earlier:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02676

Now I have added support for creation and editing of .desktop menu files. Woof commit:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/info/47509d2301

But, I need some help. For testing purposes, I have got LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 in /etc/profile. Applications/scripts that have a 'de' .mo file translate ok. However, the JWM menu does not translate. Even though there are some .desktop files with Name[de]= entries, only the English Name= entry is displaying.
Have any of you guys who use non-English locale encountered this problem, and more importantly know the cause?
...I wonder if I have stuffed up the LANG setting in 'fixmenus'?
EDIT: yes, I had a moment of dumbness. MoManager was calling 'fixmenus' with LANG=C. Fixed, will upload to online Woof repo soon.

JWM menu
It's fixmenus problem. I haven't tested your i18n-ed petget yet but in my version of petget I have removed LANG=C in scripts with fixmenus. 
fixmenus

jwm -restart

should make menu items translated.
Also in some cases menu jumps to English by itself so I have made startup script to check and fix it if necessary. 
grep 'label="Desktop"' ~/.jwmrc

if [ $? -eq 0 ]

then yaf-splash -bg orange -close never -text "$(gettext 'Updating menu, screen will flicker...')" &

proc_id=$!

fixmenus

jwm -restart

kill $proc_id

fi

In normal state I have 'Desktop' translated. If it's not translated then fixmenus is run.

Re petget LANG
rodin.s,
yes, I took the LANG=C out of the petget scripts. In particular, the one in pkg_chooser.sh.
