Ouch !! Yes, the support for that is still missing.
Those entries (from koffice and konqueror) come from the .rc files
that you can see in the sources. Stephan has to add them to the messages
target, but some special handling of "&amp;" -> "&" has to be added first.
And then we have to make sure KAction translates the items, not sure how.
Stephan, pleeaaase ? :-)

(I could hack something but I think Stephan already thought about how
to cleanly handle this issue)
