I don't quite understand. From the point of view of KDE 4.0, everything 
should be standard Gettext, PO and .mo files included. It is just a 
makeshift for the translators using 3.5 KBabel, this script stuff. Similar 
to what is sometimes done now, taking some obscure format (Mozilla, OOo) 
to PO for translation, and then back. Third party program and its 
translators will either have to do the same if they want's to use KDE 4.0 
API and translate with 3.5 KBabel, or translate in some other way.

Either so, or we really do something with KBabel 3.5.1, but that would then 
force all translators have that or higher version...
