It's more a case of "I'm not interested in doing that" rather than "I'm not 
able to do that". An artist probably can't fix code, but surely if Massim can 
translate to an Italian dialect, he can translate to Italian. Help -> About 
KDE says "The K Desktop Environment is written and maintained by the KDE 
Team". It would be nice if people had the attitude "How can I help?" rather 
than "I want to do my own thing". Don't Italian speaking people think it 
would be nice to have a completely Italian KDE?
