You don't have to be root to install languages in KDE. You can just
install them under $HOME/.kde/share/locale/LC_MESSAGES/

I have been thinking about that too. It sounds nice, but I guess that
require us to ship kinstaller or something like that with kdebase.

Or maybe we should ask the user the first time he starts the program, if
he wants to download the translated version. If he says yes, we do, if
not we don't.

The current system is a bit strange, because you install kde-i18n-no, and
then you get translations for programs you don't even have installed. hm.
