At this time, not all commands have aliases. Translation for version 0.8 
(KDE4) will only recognize the aliases also defined in the main 
language, and extracted from the po file. For more instructions, see

In future releases we might consider aliasing all commands, but I am not 
sure if this is needed. Something to ask other developers, for sure. 
Personally I believe this is not needed for the target audience of 
KTurtle and the proposed scope.

Notice also that we removed most references to Logo from KTurtle, 
including docs. The programming language is now called TurtleScript, and 
it is loosely based on Logo only, with no attempt to be compatible with it.
