Sorry, but no, our current situation has no solution for your needs.

Making translators able to translate strings in Akonadi is trivial, but we 
have no way for you to use those translations since without kdecore you have 
no way to understand gettext files and bridge them to tr().

The plan for the future (ie frameworks) is to do .po -> .ts -> .qm conversion 
on build time so libraries that don't depend on the localization framework can 
still have translatable messages.

That is not yet done and it's not on my "near schedule" either.

Cheers,
  Albert
