Kst2 translations work well now. Can you close  
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328641 ?

Sure.

It is of very doubt that Qt applications can load KDE documentation as is.  
At least, Trojita cannot do this. The only useful thing about such  
documentation is that it is available online through docs.kde.org.

BTW the current Kst docs in PDF (after Burkhard's patch):

Many thanks for your work.
