If you have a look at 
$KDEDIRS/share/services/searchproviders.altavista.desktop, you can see that 
both the displayed name (for use in the config dialog) and the query URL can 
be translated:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Name=AltaVista
Name[eo]=Altavisto
Name[et]=Altavista
Name[ko]=ì~U~Lí~C~@ë¹~Dì~J¤í~C~@
Name[sv]=Altavista
ServiceTypes=SearchProvider
Keys=av,altavista
Query=http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&kl=XX&stype=stext&q=\\1
Query[de]=http://de.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&sc=on&kl=XX&what=web&q=\\1

For the URL, this means that when the language is set to de, de.altavista.com 
is taken instead of www.altavista.com

If you include only a translated name and URL and no generic one into the 
file, it will be ignored for any other language setup:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Name[dk]=Retskrivningsordbogen
Keys=ro
Query[dk]=http://www.dsn.dk/cgi-bin/ordbog/ro96?M=1&P=%s

Just add that as retskrivningsordbogen.desktop 
(or preferably a shorter name :) to 
kdebase/kcontrol/ebrowsing/plugins/ikws/searchproviders/ and add it to 
Makefile.am.
Maybe prefix those one-language-only search provider entries with the 
language code like dk-retskrivningsordbogen.desktop
