It's not only this message. This manual, in its current state, it is 
more a proof of concept or a base to develop a proper handbook than a 
translatable/deliverable handbook. For example, there are some no sense 
links (http://apps.kde.org/kapp) or strange variables 
(&kmyapplication;), among other quirky messages.

I think we must remove this template and wait for a new reviewed version.

Thanks,

Josep M. Ferrer
