Hi,

Translators can simply provide a version of the file in their language 
and install it with the same filename at "kde-i18n/<lang>/data/
kdenonbeta/klatin/GCSE-A.kvtml".  In your code, you do something like:

  QString filename( "GCSE-A.kvtml" );
  
  if ( KGlobal::locale()->language() != "en_US" )
    filename = KGlobal::locale()->language() + "/" + filename;

  filename = locate( "data", filename );
  
Actually, I think that you don't even need the if statement...
