       dh_translations is a debhelper program to perform common translation related operations during package
       build:

       •   Try  to  build  a  current  PO  template.  Only the main gettext domain of the project is dealt with;
           dh_translations does not build help-* templates or other additional translation templates.

       •   Remove inline translations from *.desktop, *.server, *.schemas, and *.policy files and  replace  them
           with  a  link to the gettext domain, so that strings in them will get translated at runtime from *.mo
           files.  This allows language packs to ship updated translations.

--domain=domain
           The gettext domain can be passed through this option. This is useful  for  packages  with  the  Meson
           build  system to tell dh_translations which domain to use if there are multiple candidates. It's also
           useful for other packages if dh_translations fails to find the correct domain by itself.
