Not really, extracting it is easy, but someone forgot to make the 
QTranslator::translate function that accepts plurals virtual http://qt-
project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtranslator.html#translate-2

So we can't hijack the tr() call and feed a proper string from the KDE side.

So i guess you should contact the Marble guys and tell them that maybe it's 
better if they just do tr().arg(number).

We loose the different forms per plural but at least it's translatable.

Of course they could go full KDE and take all the goodies but i've lost hope 
on that.

Cheers,
  Albert
