The problem with this is that the IMAP INBOX is a special folder on the 
IMAP server. In particular, it is always named INBOX. This makes 
translation easy.

All other folders do not have special names and they do not even exist 
necessarily on an IMAP server. The folder holding the sent messages is 
called Sent or sent-mail or ... Trash sometimes also has another name. 
This makes automatic translation difficult. OTOH, I guess we could 
translate those folders that are configured as trash folders in the 
settings of an IMAP account. For the sent-mail folder that's a bit more 
difficult because in KMail sent-mail folders are tied to identities 
(instead of to IMAP accounts).

A pragmatic solution (for you) would be to create two folders with 
translated names and configure those as the sent-mail folder and trash 
folder.
