Yes, no doubt sometimes it can be very useful.

Hmm, I have never worked with it. I was speaking from the translators 
point of view.
The Linguist is surely useful when using the Qt translation system.

Translation is not bound to kbabel ;-)

I will have a look at it, but merging is normally done by gettext
(msgmerge). I just wonder: when you are speaking from the Linguist, do
you speak about the editor or the whole Qt translation system?
When you mean the editor, for what are merging algorithms used their?

Yes, same here ;-)
It seems, that these days you have to shout very loud to get
recognized by people ;-)


BTW: The splash screen is _very_ nice 
I should have a look for someone making a similar image for KBabel ;-)
