Hi,
   This is a bug and easy to fix,  to expose a property as translatable
in Glade the property must be marked: translatable="True"  in the catalog
providing the said widget, in this case its glade3/plugins/gtk+/gtk+.xml.in

See the translatable="True" annotations in the catalog in git here:
    http://git.gnome.org/browse/glade3/tree/plugins/gtk+/gtk+.xml.in

Glade has a couple of bugfixes also sleeping in the git (maybe like 3
bugfixes by now), so we could make a deal - if you patch all the missing
translations you can find for properties in Glade, I'll apply the patch
and roll out a Glade release including the fixes.

Cheers,
       -Tristan
