There is no translation for pop-up comment in Steam shortcut (/usr/share/applications/steam.desktop).
Quote:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Steam
Comment=Application for managing and playing games on Steam
Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U

It should be better to add the translations for the comment to other languages. For example:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Steam
Comment=Application for managing and playing games on Steam
Comment[ru]=Программа для управления и запуска игр в Steam
Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U

It more surprises that there more strings in this file that already has translation to basic world languages. For example:

[Desktop Action Store]
Name=Store
Name[de]=Shop
Name[es]=Tienda
Name[fr]=Magasin
Name[it]=Negozio
Name[pt]=Loja
Name[ru]=Магазин
Name[zh_CN]=商店
Name[zh_TW]=商店
Exec=steam steam://store

Could you fix this oversight?

I looked at the steam.desktop file in Ubuntu and it now contains german translation for the comment:

Comment=Application for managing and playing games on Steam
Comment[de]=Spiele auf Steam verwalten und spielen

So have this now been fixed so people can add translations?
And if so how/where do i add translation?

It seems translations have now been added to steam.desktop so this issue can be closed.
