Hum, no. The .po files are updated by scriptly. All  messages are extracted 
from original index.docbook (in English)

The translated index.docbook are generated manually by main translator team 
coordinator just before the final release date of KDE. This is done 
_manually_ because there are always any problem to generate final docbook 
files from .po files. Generally docbook are badly translated and XML synthax 
is broken by translators (translators aren't programmers).

yes, and sometimes after because handbooks creation is always a long task. 
Sometimes the handbooks unavailable for a final KDE release are only 
finalized at the next KDE release.
