I've read about a pseudo language called 'xx' that turn every i18n() to
xxx.  So everything not xx is missing a i18n().   AFAIR one can find
it on i18n.kde.org  (never tried xx myself).

check the kde-i18n-howto  that's all I read about i18n() to get me going.

make -f Makefile.cvs package-messages  works for me.   No idea if it works inside
kde-extragear

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
