Greetings, Thomas!
I am the creator / maintainer for the KMessedWords and KHangman, and this is 
the email, that I feel I need to answer; It was sent to Anne, but the EDU 
develoment got it, namely me.

The KMessedWords has it's own dictionary, you probably already know that. In 
there you can change the words into any language. True, that the 
documentation is a little bit outdated, but it specificaly says, not, that 
words are in english language, but, that they can be changed.

Anne: We have a REAL problem here... I am really not sure, weither i18n() 
would be a good idea fr the programs, like KHangMan and KMessedWords, because 
setting that would mean (would it), that the shown words are the same 
language as the KDE. What would happend, if someone wud want to play in 
ANOTHER language?

Ideas wuld be nice here :)

Regards. ~W.
