So far "others" seems to mean external programs, _outside_ KDE CVS. Their 
authors would eg like to have their apps translated by KDE language teams. 
Hence the already existing "others" section in kde-i18n. The upcoming new 
modules (kdeprime, kdeapps, kdeextra, or whatever they will be called) are 
meant for development _inside_ KDE CVS. To some degree, they will become 
part of the project, but they will not be an "official" part of KDE 
releases.

As for language teams: They are not expected to translate these new modules 
(although it would be nice if they did). The teams are not expected to 
translate "others" and "kdenonbeta" either. Translating "others" may be 
nice, too, but translating "nonbeta" would be mostly a waste of time since 
many of the apps in there are highly experimental, not really functional, 
or just plain dead. This state of kdenonbeta (which can't be easily changed 
since people also need room for experiments) is one of the main reasons for 
creating the upcoming "extra" modules in the first place.

Regards,

Thomas
