That's a weirdness of KFileDialog and similar things - before the | is a list 
of wildcards that are matched and after is a description of the filetype that 
is matched by the list of wildcards. So translate the bit after, but you must 
include, untouched, the part up to the |. Like so:

*.png *.xpm *.svg *.svgz|Icoontjes

* matches all files, hence the description. This string must be:

*|Alle bestanden


If you mess this up -- I remember fixing some cases in the Russian translation 
once -- and write just

Icoontjes

then the file dialog will be broken.
