I do not mind to postpone the decision after Akademy.

Be careful that KBabel alone could take a man-week, probably without having 
finished the task at the end of the week.

The priority would be to load, edit and save a PO file in the KBabel editor. 
In March, neither loading a PO file nor setting the project settings nor 
setting the program settings were working. 

That is why I consider KBabel to be at 0% usability.

Good luck to try to work it out.

BTW: if somebody would want to write a replacement for transxx, he should 
perhaps start by re-using the code of the msgsplit script (which is in 
Python).
