Sure. But since this beta is apparently meant for "ordinary users"  I would 
prefer releasing the translations with it. As for completeness, the 
statistics at http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/i18n-table-HEAD.html show about 
everything between 0% and 100%. On the whole, the translations look more 
complete than I would have expected.

You are ever so right. ;-) (Any objections from other teams?) 

If you would go this route this time already we'd have a problem, however, as 
to where to draw the line which teams are in and which are not. At any rate, 
I'm attaching a list of 24 candidates who have their KOffice translations 
above 50%. Hope I did not overlook anybody.

Regards,

Thomas
