Sometime I get some mails from people asking me what they can translate as
an university project and such things. The main problem in KDE context is,
that translation isn't that easy. Of course you can just send the people the
po file and say they should use kbabel, but to do it right, they need a lot
more knowledge. I also tried to guide someone through the process of setting
up KDE CVS download, to do some proofreading of documentation, but I think
he gave up, because it is just to complicate.

So I'm not sure how to lower the technical border. If you find a good
solution I like to hear about it!
