Well, the kde4-l10n module is still experimental and might not be the final 
l10n module for KDE4.

But if you want to use it, why not. Propably copying (with svn) the files from 
KDE3 would be better, the conversion scripts are in branches/work/kde4-l10n/
The script kdepo2std.pl is the main conversion script, kde3_desktop_convert.pl 
is for converting the desktop PO files.

You can use kdepo2std.pl like (in one line, from you kde4-l10n directory. for 
el):

perl scripts/conversion/kdepo2std.pl el/messages/kdelibskdelibs.po `find 
el -name \*.po`

(Adapt the paths depending on where you are. kdelibs.po must have a correct 
Plural-Form declaration, as it will copied on all processed files).

After that you can convert the desktop PO files:

perl scripts/conversion/kde3_desktop_convert.pl `find el -name desktop\*.po`


By the way: we would need a volunteer to put all this in a correct form and 
document it in kde4-l10n (probably in the conversion directory).

Yes, that is what I meant.

If somebody has time, he should try to find if this bug have already been 
reported or not. (I was not able to do so and I do not had time to do all 
the "bureaucracy" to report it to GNU.)

You could use --prefix here and at runtime add the path to your $PATH when you 
need it. (That would be probably easier that your solution of renaming.)
