Sorry, I gave a file reference for that but should have realized the reader might not be ain a place convenient to look at their file.  Here is a collection of some lines from one of the files:

[Desktop Entry]
Name[id]=Editor Konfigurasi
Comment[be]=Наўпрост рэдагуе ўсю базу даньняў наладак
Type=Application
Name[en_GB]=Configuration Editor
Name[zh_TW]=組態編輯器
Comment[en_CA]=Directly edit your entire configuration database

The files have mostly non-english stuff and I just want to see them more readably.  I am sitting here with my new copy of Linux in a Nutshell but I have not used this stuff in maybe 15 years.  Thanks for the help!

Either a better description of the line format or a few sample lines
would help a lot.
