[kde-freebsd] RFC: Need for 'NLS' and 'DOCS' options in KDE frameworks/plasma/applications ports

[Ralf Nolden]

Ok, I've checked http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/15.08.0/src/kde-l10n/  which is the only one that ships the translations.

As each file contains translations for KDE 4 and KDE 5 together, how about just 
updating the resprective ports with the sources packaging the kde4 
translations and adding another port each for the kde5 translations  using the 
same source then ? (that limits the distfiles down and ships the most recent 
translations for KDE4 also)

There's no other l10n files I could find for KDE so it should be doable and the 
preferred way for consistency ?

Just my input on this.
