:) nice! You would need KTouch from KDE4 and all keyboard files which don't 
have the .xml extension are not ported. I ported French and Dvorak French and 
Jeremy ported Dvorak English.
What you need to do is use the keyboard editor to edit the old keyboard layout 
(without .xml) and work from there.

Thanks in advance
