Nowadays we can set up translations automatically, but only when the domain is provided with the metadata. This can be a problem, for example our extension templates use the automatic translation handling that we recommend, but as a result the code will throw an error unless `gettext-domain` is added to the metadata. Binding a text domain is cheap enough to not care about unnecessary or duplicated calls, so add a final fallback to the UUID when no domain was provided as parameter or in the metadata. There is already a precedent with the `gnome-extensions pack` command that falls back to the UUID when no explicit gettext domain was included in the metadata.

GNOME Shell
GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.
For more information about GNOME Shell, including instructions on how to build GNOME Shell from source and how to get involved with the project, see the project wiki.
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. Please refer to the Schedule wiki page to see the supported versions.
Contributing
To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message
guidelines. If a merge request
fixes an existing issue, it is good practice to append the full issue URL
to each commit message. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant
topic, such as panel: or status/network:, and it's always better to write
too much in the commit message body than too little.
Default branch
The default development branch is main. If you still have a local
checkout under the old name, use:
git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
