       Dear team,

  My process to translate *.desktop entries is:

  1) review and rework on "desktop.po" file
     (1-3 days)
  2) send it in CVS
     (1 day, because I send it to my team coordinator)
  3) wait for updating 
     (for safety I wait 3 days)
  4) download after all packages
     (BTW some patches don't work and sometime
      I need to download over my ppp 3Kb/s very unstable line
      which need a numer unknown of days)
  5) compile/hack + install kde snapshots
     (1 full day)
  =========
  Estimated TOTAL time for 1 loop: 2-3 weeks (for me and
  if I don't have other problems)

  THIS BORED ME. Please help me. What I want:
  *  scripts for generating *.desktop files
  for only one language, even I don't have
Koffice instaled or other >100 KDE applications.

  For me, was a challenge to translate similar 
applications like kpm and ktop.
Allowing me to have FULL tree of *desktop files in kicker,
konqueror and desktop/background app will solve
bad/irellevant translations and gain LOT OF TIME.


  Again, please make some scripts and I thing that
all translation teams will thank you.

best regards,
