Description
### Describe the problem
Currently, it seems Weblate doesn't support translating `.desktop` file directly. Users may need to extract strings from `.desktop` file to a known supported format firstly to allow translators translate them on Weblate.
The closest we have is [`ini` format support](https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/formats/ini.html#ini), but it's still different from what `.desktop` file offers.
### Describe the solution you would like
Directly support `.desktop` file format, like what other platforms did (e.g. [Transifex](https://help.transifex.com/en/articles/6220732-freedesktop)).
### Describe alternatives you have considered
If already supported but I somehow didn't find it, please document it on the website.
### Screenshots
