I can obviously not speak for all programs in kdeextragear, as each of them
are shipped separately, but I if there should be a kdeextragear project
reading this and disagree, please speak up.

KimDaBa uses cvs2dist to make packages. cvs2dist checks out both kind of
translations, ie. .po and .docbooks files, and put those into the .tar.gz
files. So yes, the translation are indeed uses.

In addition I can also confirm that the RPM packages made out of the tar.gz
files also do include the translations.

Kind Regards
Jesper.
