Hi all,

since I lately saw quite a lot of problems with internationalization issues 
in some applications I wrote a small howto, that describes how to prepare the 
code for i18n and also lists some common mistakes many developers do and that 
prevents applications to get properly translated.

_Please_  read this howto carefully and think of i18n issues when writing 
code. It is not a big deal, but if you are not aware of some possible 
problems, it might make some applications very hard to use in other languages 
or let them look badly. And since the translation of KDE in so many languages 
is one big advantage of KDE, it is important that developers are aware of the 
issue.

You can find the howto at 
http://developer.kde.org/kde2arch/kde-i18n-howto.html

Thanks for reading,
    Matthias
