This is really bad compared to our you do it in kde4 which is basically.
 * Go do l10n-kde4
 * Install your language
 * Done

It also makes it much harder for translators to test the translations they are 
working on since they suddenly have to compile the program they are 
translating instead of just compiling the translation and using the binaries 
the distro provides.

Any way we can make the old "just compile your l10n-kde4 language and install 
it" way work?

Cheers,
