It's at least how a lot of them feel.

For many translators (and many users) an untranslated release is 
like "no release at all". For translators, this is probably due, 
partly, to their identification with "their KDE". For those 
users, an untranslated app (and esp. one with lots of technical 
terms like K3b) is simply a "no-go".
