In particular it looks like we'll actually need an en_US translation done to get the plurals right?  If we can't make tr() work for these we'll have to move the class into  k18n.  The second is to look at the formatting options provided and decide if they are actually useful to have.  The third is to confirm that the design is OK, I did think about making these simple static methods with an extra parm for QLocale, but I think this approach offers more future flexibility, and writing KFormat().formatDuration() is just as convenient as KFormat::formatDuration().
