Don't blame the translators ;)
You can fix this in your own Makefile.am: kdereview/ksynaptics/src/Makefile.am 
actually, at the messages target.

I don't really have a proper way, but I wrote a simple bash script (based on 
the kdeedu's package script) to retrieve the desired po-files from i18n. If 
you enter kcmksynaptics.po in the dialog which appears for the app name, the 
translations should be downloaded.

Good luck,
