It would be rather impractical and evem selfish to store LADSPA
translations in Kdenlive :)

As Dan already observed, there are several hundreds of them available.
That's the impractical part. The selfish part is that LADSPA effects
can be translated in upstream via gettext. Not every pack of LADSPA
allows that, but Steve Harris's collection (largest and most popular
one) can, so can several others. However, last I checked with Paul
Davis (developer of Ardour), a LADSPA host needs some extra code to
support loading those translations.

Oh, btw, we don't support RDF based categorisation of LADSPA effects
yet. That would make sense.
