If that is your final statement, I will write the AppData
recommendation without any translation support for KDE. There is no
tool available which does what you want, and I can't take the task to
write one (I also consider it useless, but that's unrelated).
Having untranslated AppData is better than no AppData.

That would work, ov course :-)
