Both can be solved IMO. 

1) i18n "modules" can be inserted on component load.
KGlobal::locale()->insertCatalogue("libkword");

2) A component is not a application and should not depend on a component
specific KApplication instance. It can use the main apps KApplication
instance to get general info like Kapplication::desktop() but not to hold its
configuration (for example). We need a KComponent class in addition to
KApplication.

Greetings, Matthias
