Hi Everyone,

In the Device Actions KCM there are numerous *.desktop files which are
used to provide these translations since no method existed at the
time. Perhaps these could be used to provide the translations? Just a
thought. The Device Notifier should probably use them.... they are
installed to $KDEDIR/share/apps/solid/devices. There is a generator
for those files also, in
/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/solid/solid-actions-kcm
