Just say your name then, pronouncing it in your mother tongue.

Actually, I don't think it would be bad to have the developer say the number 
of years in their native language and not translate it.  Maybe KDE users 
would learn to count in few different languages.  :)  But disk space usage is 
a big issue, so it should be optional.

I don't think translation would be required for this (although this is veering 
off-topic from what Adriaan proposed ...).
