Good idea.  I'm reworking some of our wiki at the moment anyway.

Jaroslaw Staniek (Kexi maintainer) was nagging David Faure about this
for some time.  Last I heard it wasn't technically possible to do have 
translations for KOffice and independent releases, but that was just after 
SVN migration and the situation may have changed.

Anyway, I think I'll leave it to the experts! :o)

Unfortunately, I think I have to take the blame here.

I encouraged him to use KBabel to try translating a few strings, because I 
thought he'd have more confidence contacting the translation team if he knew 
he had the technical skills necessary first.  I guess I may not have been 
clear enough that he should not try to translate a significant portion of the 
application, and I apologise unreservedly for the time I've wasted as a 
result.
