This is not completely true. Italian team uses only KBabel, but errors
appear anyway. I suspect some errors are added by the automatic scripts:
have a look at this:

ERROR: da's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images" doesn't
fit tag
ERROR: fi's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images" doesn't
fit tag
ERROR: he's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images" doesn't
fit tag
ERROR: hu's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images" doesn't
fit tag
ERROR: it's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images" doesn't
fit tag
ERROR: no's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images" doesn't
fit tag
ERROR: no_NY's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images"
doesn't fit tag
ERROR: pt_BR's translation of "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images"
doesn't fit tag

8 teams did the same error?!? Quite strange, I think...
