POs are gettext files, used by KDE translators (in KBabel). For practical 
reasons, the XML doc files are converted to this PO format and then converted 
back to XML. Big files (like the helpcenter or the kcontrol modules) are 
split in many small PO files to make them easier to handle. However, we have 
to provide 100% translations of _all_ the part files. Otherwise the 
re-conversion to XML won't work.

IOW: While it is possible to have a partly translated Konqueror GUI it is not 
possible to have a partly translated Konqueror documentation in a localized 
KDE. (At least if I understood correctly; I still have not found the time to 
really grasp the new doc translation system.)

Yes. Sorry. Shortly after sending the message I realized that the glossary is 
not part of the FAQ but of another Helpcenter subsection. Nevertheless it is 
apparently integrated with the other KHelpcenter files which seems 
impractical for the above reasons. Probably the question should go to Lauri 
(or Stephan Kulow if he is back). Don't know who is doing the split up / 
re-integration work regarding the bigger documents.

Sorry about the confusion,

Thomas
