Upgrading to the recently released Plasma (or Framworks?) seems to 
finally have fixed this.

This wasn’t fixed by the latest update, but the PO file seems to be 
kirigami/libkirigami2plugin_qt.po. I hadn’t translated the relevant 
string. Doing this and compiling and installing the updated file fixed 
the problem. For anybody interested in how to compile files with the 
_qt.po suffix (msgmerge doesn’t work), here is what I used:

     lconvert-qt5 -i libkirigami2plugin_qt.po -o libkirigami2plugin_qt.qm

The file should then be installed where the other translations files for 
your language can be found. On my distro and for my language (language 
code: nn), that was:

     /usr/share/locale/nn/LC_MESSAGES/
