KGoldrunner requires the extractrc because Editor and Themes are strings not 
known by the XmlGUI system, so they are not handled at a lower level. 
Kjumpingcube instead only has Game that is probably handled at the 
libkdegames level.

As Burkhard said the easiest way is installing the x-text language that only 
adds xx at the beginning and end of each string. If any string has not xx is 
that something is failing and you try to seek some advice :-)
