Well, somehow it's not. We already have a lot of languages to bear
and they're all necessary for a lot of people. Latin and Klingon
are not, they're jokes. I even consider Esperanto as one, but that's
perhaps my own oppinion ;)

But if you do the work to translate KDE into latin and feel the
urgent need to see if even, then there will be ways to handle
it.
