My idea was that managing translations with po files is easier than
with anything else. Writing scripts having only one po file is easier
than having countries.po, months.po etc.

But actually it would be wise to have a more flexible solution, like
an xml-based file, that could be transformed into po or scm file or
whatever KDE gurus find necessary.
