We could, but we don't need to.

evdev.xml is part of xkeyboard-config

xkeyboard-config installs a translation named xkeyboard-config that contains 
the translations of those files.

So you just need to call
   i18nd("xkeyboard-config", myVariable)
and it should work.

Tell me if it does not.

Cheers,
  Albert
