The key is now a context and the returned string has not the Key= anymore.
(where the key is Name, Comment, etc.)

So for your example, you would have to use in KDE4:
i18n ("Name", country)

The reason of the change can been seen in quite too many of the Scripty's logs 
in ftp://i18n.kde.org/logs. Nearly in every run, check_po_files has to 
correct entries, as the translation does not start with the right 
"Key=" 

Have a nice day!
