I haven't checked but if Indonesian isn't listed in the combo box on the top 
of the kde.org main page, it probably isn't being done.

OK, I'd love for you to do this. Please excuse my ignorance on the matter, but 
is Indonesian a right-to-left language rather than a left-to-right language 
e.g. English? If so, this may be a slight difficulty as I haven't quite 
finished enabling translations for left-to-right languages yet and at the 
moment I don't quite see how the web framework could be extended to cover 
right-to-left languages.... it will almost certainly be possible somehow, I 
will just need to think about it a little and unfortunately it will have to 
go on the end of my todo list which is already quite long.

If it's possible/common for Indonesian to be written in a left-to-right manner 
(I think I recall somebody saying that Hebrew was sometimes written like this 
even though it's normally a right-to-left language) then I'd be very happy to 
get you started.

But as I said I haven't quite finished enabling left-to-right translations 
yet, so please bear with me while I do this. I will get into contact with you 
again as soon as it's ready.
