I did a proof of concept of a translation package there:

https://build.pub.meego.com/package/show?package=kde-
l10n&project=Project%3AKDE%3ADevel

it's from the released tarballs of translations, so is still missing the 
extragear stuff (among which plsma-mobile)

still some problems with it:

* it has just two languages, to try out: whole translations is 350+MB (55 
languages), it may beat very hard on obs
* it produces a single kde-l10n-countrycode package with all the released 
translations in one, more granularity probably needed?
* other packages, such as plasma-mobile, okular-active, active-addons etc 
still need translation packaging

so, this work still has to be finished. ideas on what direction it should 
take?
