No for several reasons:

- who will remember to check that at that time for each single applet/engine 
etc ? For example the weatherengine jumped with Revision 710826 magically from 
playground into kdebase, there was no chance to check i18n in kdereview.

- in the current state in playground it is impossible to check for proper i18n 
with x-test or with a translated message catalog.

- it's not that hard to fix this now (change EXPORT macro name -> one line 
commit, move some translation catalogs a bit more.

- who knows all distros already packaging exceptions like networkmanager with 
broken i18n (unused catalogs)?

Where should the unused the unused catalogs networkmanagement_openvpnui + 
networkmanagement_vpncui be pulled in via insertCatalog()

So just decide in each reported case what is right, the macro name or the 
catalog name. that's doable within minutes and takes less time writing these 
emails.
