KDE ignores language settings it doesn't have a translation for. So an
application only translated to 'de' won't be able to read de_DE entries
even if the user set LANG to de_DE. We have the l10n files for everything
that change from country to country with the same language, but we could
very well support that too - with some hassle in KConfig

I'd agree.
