[KPhotoAlbum] Category localization removal

[Tobias Leupold]

Hi Andreas!

I also think it would be much better to do it in the way (or a similar one) 
you described. But – in our defense – this is how KPA has been doing it at 
least since I use it. Nothing was changed here!

This is probably something for the Christmas holidays, actually that always 
annoyed me. Perhaps, it can be changed to something more convenient.

But it's fine you didn't find something like "now, all my category thumbnails 
are gone" or so (we had that ;-) Thanks for the testing!

Cheers, Tobias
