           Summary: "Switch Application Language" doesn't work completely

          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Screenshot showing the results of changing the System Settings language from
English to Russian

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

All KDE applications have a Help->Swith Application Language command which can
be used to switch that application's user interface to a different language;
the change is to take effect after the program is restarted.  However, when the
program is restarted, only some text labels in the user interface appear in the
new language; the rest appear in the default language.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch any application.  I've been able to reproduce the problem with Kopete
and System Settings.
2. Help->Switch Application Language
3. Select a language other than KDE's default language from the Primary
language drop-down list.  For example, my default language is American English,
so I select Russian from the list.
4. OK
5. A message appears indicating that the change will take effect after the
application is restarted.  Click OK.
6. Close the application.
7. Restart the application.

Actual Results:  
8. Some text labels in the application's user interface are in Russian, but
some remain in English.  (It may be necessary to open some dialogs to find
them.)  See the attached screenshot.

Expected Results:  
8. All text labels in the user interface should be in Russian.

I have also been able to reproduce the problem going the other direction --
that is, for a user where the default KDE language is Russian, all the text
labels in System Settings and Kopete are initially in Russian.  If I then try
to switch the application language to American English and restart, then some
of the labels change to English, but the rest stay in Russian.
