_MY_ sofware??? How _I_ use Name and GenericName??

As I said I'm only a translator: someone asked feedback for i18n/l10n
so here I'm to report my experience on current labels in GNOME sofware
and to expose what could be good or useful to have.

And it was a _fictional_ example, using existing application name. If
you preferr, assuming

 Name=Dolphin
 GenericName=File Manager
 Name[it]=Dolphin
 GenericName[it]=Gestore file

in Italian language a raw "Dolphin Gestore file" is wrong (not ugly, wrong).

It should be "Gestore file Dolphin" or "Dolphin - Gestore file", but
you need to provide msgid "%1$s %2$s" as esplained before for
programmatical approach, or "Dolphin gestore file" (this is not wrong,
but really ugly), but you need to add FullName key.

Now, what about other languages? I suppose this is the point. How many
languages _really_ need FullName? How many languages are fine with
programmatical apporach (with/without positional msgid)?
