Simon has two documentation pot files and a kcm and a library, all these 
translations need to go into separate catalogs.

But you also have around 10 po's with <10 msgs, one (sscd.pot) only with NAME 
OF TRANSLATORS / EMAIL OF TRANSLATORS. 
Most of these small translation catalogs are from plugins.

I don't know, where and how all these various code parts like the plugins are 
used by one or more applications in simon project. 
So I can't really help.

It has to be done manually, and you need an l10n-kde4 checkout for all 
languages with existing translations for that.

Yes.

That is done by various scripts in l10-kde4/scripts, but needs to be adjusted 
to the documentation directory layout in simon.

Thanks.
