As it's more of a power user thing perhaps it's fine to not translate them. 
I'm not fully sure though.

Anyway, in my mind it was to use mainly as a fallback system if no translation 
is found so that you don't get screwed up by a library upgrade for instance, 
you're still able to access the new feature even if not translated.

That's an idea too. And in any case a good way to reduce the risks of a gap 
between the kcm and the library.

As for the .desktop files themselves, you probably should probably be more 
strict in how you locate them and how you deal with dups. As I pointed in my 
previous mail I get all the entries twice. Granted, it looks like a bug 
somewhere in KStandardDirs, but it shows that the kcm is not prepared to 
handle correctly the case where the desktop file is found twice (once in the 
system install, once in the user settings) which could happen.

Regards.
