It is nonsense to do so as unless certain criteria are met,
translations are not released as part of KDE.

See:

http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/stable-kde4/essential/

You have to reach 100% in this list.

Once you have commit access, you are free to translate the way you

access to svn repository.

Good luck.

http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/stable-kde4/team/sq/

There were some attempts, but only 14 strings were committed so far.
