Really? I just tried the ta translation:
* installed my new patch for KDE and Qt
* installed a TSCII font as "helvetica" and selected TSCII as charset in
  kcmlocale.

I got it up and runing. Of couse they was all showed as "????" the
desktop.po file was converted using recode latin1..utf8. THerefore I
decided to convert it to _real_ unicode UTF-8.

I did some more testing -- and it works like one would expect. I guess I
can commit my patches to the trolls now. BTW: You'll fine some updated
patches in a few hours. Please try them out.

Here is a step by step HOWTO for testing desktop files:
* start kbabel
* open the catalouge manager
* open desktop.po
* translate
* commit the changes
* wait till the next (central European) morning (important)
* do cvs update in kdebase
* reinstall kdebase
* restart KDE2

do {
    for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
        do_step(i);
} while true;
