cause i complained about a lot of untranslatable strings in plasma?
now it is somehow our (my?) fault, we (me?) want to have a fully translatable 
kde?

cause none of our devels uses the language x-test?

about >=7 catalogs have to be renamed in branch and trunk to make plasma fully 
translatable.

weather applets are untranslatable in trunk and branch 4.3

weather engine in kdebase, used by weather applets in kdeplasma-addons

i18n = the second class citizen in kde

P.S.
Sorry for my sarcastic wording, but as i have do spend more time to fix i18n 
bugs to make our translations visible than to work on the german translation, 
that's just my feeling ("i18n is a second class citizen in kde")
