xx is a mere commodity for developers in order to track down i18n bugs, you 
cannot count this as a "language". 

As for other translations that are not yet distributed: these are simply 
unmaintained or badly maintained. But they are in CVS with the clear purpose 
to get distributed one day soon as the find more dedicated maintainers and/or 
language teams.

With space and adminstrative requirements for the kde-i18n module getting 
higher and higher and lots of regular teams (eg from India) waiting for 
inclusion I'm totally against including any fun projects that do not even aim 
at regular distribution. Besides: If we start including projects like this we 
can hardly deny it to others, no matter how obscure or badly maintained they 
are.

Please find a way to keep this project outside the regular kde-i18n module. 
(If you insist to have it in there, you might want to talk to Klas Kalass 
whether he sees a chance for such things in his upcoming "apps" modules.)

Regards,

Thomas
