You contributed as well Adriaan. I have adjusted it to SVN. Only some basic 
things work right now. 

I'm not very happy it is now placed in this Rosetta context. It is not a 
counter attack on Rosetta. I still think the (mostly technical) Rosetta-KDE 
relation should be improved. KTU can then be used to install that fantastic 
translations you all make ;-)

The argumentation for creating it is mainly for new translators. When they 
join the project and deliver a translation, they have to wait untill the next 
minor kde release to see their translation (or they have to do complicated 
things). Only then he can see bugs in the application translation (and wait 
for the next minor release to see them fixed). With this tool this new 
translator can instantly fetch and install the translation and see the 
results. 

This should improve motivation of the new contributor (maybe they even stick 
around) and make the quality of the translations better.
