Discussed in #9230

Originally posted by notiant October 16, 2025
Currently, the context menu entry in nautilus is hardcoded to "Open in Ghostty". For a better integration with the system if the language is not set to English, this message could be translated to the system language.

Note: we just need to call gettext for this string here (

ghostty/dist/linux/ghostty_nautilus.py

Line 61 in dffa4f4

item = Nautilus.MenuItem(name=name, label='Open in Ghostty',
), and we can reuse our existing localization infrastructure. We do need to add the Nautilus script as a potential source of translations in the build system, but other than that this should be trivial.
