Nice. I have been thinking about this as well, although from a slightly 
different perspective:

In many scenarios, especially the more technical ones, one needs to display 
identifiers and names in i18n'd text. My big issue with doing that is 
consistency. Should one use double quotes around the terms? Or single quotes? 
No quotes at all? Etc.

To make KLocalizedString aware of types like QDir seems to solve the problem 
of paths, but how does one achieve the same improvement for other strings? 
What is it people generally inserting with %N, and what can be done for 
making it consistent?

I'm thinking of something like an enum that tells what kind of "role" 
or "type" a certain insert-string has. Although I don't know how that should 
play together with the i18n calls.


Cheers,
