Well, normally, we have frozen i18n now. We must trying to unchange strings in 
implementation until final release.

But i think than to have this Welcome Page give a more user friendly 
application. It's look like other main KDE project (here i compare to Kmail)

Following Achim tip, I will contact kde-i18n-doc to see if this change can be 
done now without cause any problems with translator jobs.
