Details:

I am trying to translate a Desktop-like file. The format of the file is
identical to a standard Desktop file it just uses additional keywords.

Extracting the untranslated strings from the non-standard keywords works fine
with xgettext by adding an additional keyword param, like
'--keyword=Description'.

However, when I try to to the same with msgfmt (msgfmt --desktop
--keyword=Description ...) only the Description keyword will be translated
while standard keywords like Name are not. Removing the keyword parameter will
translate the standard keywords but (obviously) not the new ones. 

This contradicts how xgettext works. Also the manual indicates that it should
work the same:
