Frankly, I'm inclined to completely ignore such a limited device in any
decision concerning a general piece of software.

I don't think it would be a shame at all to kill translation scripting on
such a device. It could even result in non-negligible performance gain in
some contexts (especially in latency, when stuff is loaded). The kill switch
already exists in the code, and can be thrown in kdeglobals. This
functionality should remain, KJS or QtScript. (I would additionaly provide a
build system switch, to not even compile the scripting module.)
