Attached one patch for marble and one for kalzium. Please commit only in  
coordination with Albert.

marble patch:
Works for the kde version, but the qtonly version has to be fixed to use the 
second catalog "marble_qt", but I don't know how to do this.
Tosten, Inge, or Henry, please fix this issue, when the message split is 
commited.

kalzium patch:
I have no idea why kalzium uses tr() calls, is there a qt version of kalzium?
What's the reason using tr() calls?

If there is no good reason for using tr() calls, a better patch would be to 
change the tr() calls to i18n() calls and extract the messages into one 
catalog then.

You are wrong, see attached patch.
