I've got no idea how to do this ;-)

Where in CVS did you look? kde-i18n/de/messages/kdenetwork e.g. is 
branched and while it's true that the majority of strings hasn't 
changed, you will find a lot of new strings, compared to 3_1_BRANCH. 
~60 of them are still fuzzy, last time I checked.

If you're talking about kdenetwork itself: There, only the kmail/ subdir 
is branched, but there are subdirs that are only in the 
kroupware_branch (and HEAD):
 kioslaves, ktnef (not sure the latter needs translations)
In kdepim, at least korganizer and kpilot are branched. See 
kroupware.kde.org (client howto) for the exact description.

It's OK if you don't intend to translate kroupware_branch, but saying 
nothing changed in there is a - well - little understatement. The 
kroupware project volume is currently estimated at around three 
man-years.

As a very rough guess, you can expect around 200 new strings.

Better than what? I understand that is exactly what we did for the 
German translations already...

I propose you ask Kalle <kalle@kde.org> for the details I can't provide, 
as he's the one in charge of the (German) translation of kroupware 
currently.

state of surveillance they would otherwise not accept. Both communism
and fascism were examples of this technique used to perfection.
