Yes "code" like setting TRANSLATION_DOMAIN or real code like 
"KLocalizedString::insertQtDomain("kurifilter");" in kuriikwsfilter.cpp + 
kurisearchfilter.cpp.
The latter should load the catalog kurifilter according to the api afaik, but 
apparently this does not work here.

I'd go with merge - one catalog for frameworks/kio

Not really. If you want to move translations around, you use the options 
"merge" or "move" for a single separate catalog or "mergekeep" to move a part 
of a catalog to a new destination catalog or into another existing catalog.
With the latter you only have more obsolete messages in the destination 
catalog but that happens over time for other reasons as well.

Let's have Albert the last saying how to solve this.

Thanks.
