Hi,

we have a way to merge the strings translated in the Gtk+ to the Qt po 
file if that can help earning some time (so we have around 53% 
translated for the latest stable release, in fact: 
https://paste.kde.org/pruukrzbo). I can send you the file directly if 
easier for you.

There are also other files to be translated (for example 
https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-qt/blob/master/src/activities/lang/resource/content-gd.json 
could be completed) but it's less important than the main software 
translation.

It would be nice that at least 80% of the software is translated. If you 
haven't subscribed to the list (kde-i18n-doc or this one), I can send 
you a mail everytime we plan a release so you can try to update the 
translation with the latest strings if you have time.

You can email me the po file, I can check with the Gaelic team and see 
how to integrate it within the current kde repository.

I'm not sure to understand the last point, in the Gtk+ there was also a 
harcoded list with implemented locales, but I'll add Gaelic to the 
locale list.
