Hello,

The KDE Accessibility Project is currently moving towards their first release. 
Today we have reached the i18n string freeze, so that the translation can 
start. (Parallel to the translation we will publish a beta version in the 
next few days.)

Currently the kdeaccessibility module consists of three applications 
(KMagnifier, KMouseTool and KMouth, of whom KMouth is the largest).
Apart from the GUI messages and the documentation KMouth contains some 
standard phrasebooks (KMagnifier and KMouseTool do not have any extra data).

As I do not know if the current location and the method of loading them are 
suitable for translated phrasebooks:
The phrasebooks are currently located in CVS in the directory 
kdeaccessibility/kmouth/books/ and exist in two languages (English and 
German). During the installation they will be placed into the directories 
$(kde_datadir)/kmouth/books/en/ and $(kde_datadir)/kmouth/books/de/. Each of 
these directories will contain a ".desktop" file which gives the screen-name 
for that directory (e.g., "English" for the directory "en/").

I assume that the German version of the phrase books were better moved into 
the kde-i18n module? Is the technique of looking for .desktop files suitable 
for translation?

If the phrasebooks do not delay the translation too much I would like to ask 
for a translation of kdeaccessibility until Friday, Febuary 28. If any 
translation teams need more time for the translation, please drop me a 
message.

P.S.
Please CC the kde-accessibility mailing list as I assume that the people on 
that list are intrested in the topic of this mail, too.
