I've just added the project Gconf to the bug because this seems to be a Gconf problem. I've also linked an upstream bug about it.

The problem is not the gnome-settings-daemon doesn't mark for translations the strings, neither the translated strings doesn't show up, the problem is the strings are asked to Gconf and Gconf (now) is giving the untranslated strings.

You can check this by doing this:
$ gconftool --short-docs /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator

Even if you force the LANG, you'll get always "Launch calculator", not the translated version. You can try:
$ LANG=es gconftool --short-docs /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator
$ LANG=it gconftool --short-docs /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator
$ LANG=de gconftool --short-docs /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator
...

Also you can see this easuly in the gconf-editor. All the gconf keys' descriptions are untranslated. But in previous versions they were translated. And the translations are still there as Ricardo pointed out before.

So I connected this bug with the upstream gconf bug and I've created a new one ( bug #382274) for the whole Gconf issue (not just the actions stuff).
