I want all KDE menus and apps to be in that language (pretty hard
demand, I know).

kcmshell language would require people to log out in order to change the
settings. kpersonalizer seems better suited since it actually takes
place before the first session.

I have tested this part, all the languages/fonts seems to work well,
it's just a matter of getting it configured in an easy way. 

I need to get the keyboard layout manager added to the panel. That
should be quite easy cause that's the same for all accounts. (configure
a proper .kde-catalog for /etc/skel/ )
