This is the directory with the Inkscape color palettes. They are in Gimp format (.gpl). Within Inkscape, they can be accessed by a drop-down menu in the Swatches dialog (Ctrl+Shift+W). Internationalization This file is internationalized the same way as share/filters/filters/svg The i18n.py script called from the makefile will extract strings from the *.svg into a *.svg.h file. Intltool is then able to extracts these strings just like from normal .h files.
