It is.

If you have updated a messages/docs translation, go to the toplevel of 
kde-i18n and call:
./update_xml af
This will check
1. if the english documentation is there. It has to be in ../kdeaddons/docs, 
   so you need to have checked out the english documentation that you 
   translate. 
   This is suggested anyway, so no suprise.
2. if the po file is translated completely: no fuzzy, no untranslated.
   (this isn't true for your af files, btw)

then it will create a translated XML file in the right place. It will also 
add a Makefile.am, so you can commit that with the index.docbook.
If this Makefile.am is new you need to call Makefile.cvs again (you might 
want to create a file named inst-apps with only "af" in it to shorten that 
process)

Then you can go to af/docs and run make. This should call meinproc on the 
created XML. But this requires a quite recent CVS of kdelibs to really check 
that.

One thing I know for sure doesn't work is the translation of 
ROLES_OF_TRANSLATORS. Here you have to add a <othercredit 
role="translator"....  Check a random german or french translation file
for details.

BTW: af is yet no supported language. You first need to translate some more 
files to start with poxml. Start with the docbook XSL and pick a language at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/docbook/gentext/locale/
and change it to fit Afrikaans. We need first to get it into the docbook XSL
distribution. 

IMPORTANT: The above is true for every new language! Currently without 
docbook translation are:
+af
+az
+bg
+br
+bs
+cy
+eo
+eu
+ga
+gl
+he
+hr
+is
+lt
+lv
+mi
+mk
+mt
+no_NY
+oc
+ta
+th
+tr
+uk
+wa

Please contribute.

Greetings, Stephan
