As LukāĻ has written, it is too late for KOffice 1.3.1. However may be you 
could translate for KOffice 1.3.2, which should probably exist.

I do not know if LukāĻ would want to include a new language or not in a future 
release but you might create it on CVS anyway. You need a branch named 
KOFFICE_1_3_BRANCH in your KOffice translation.You cannot branch to that tag 
directly, but you can add directory by directory, file by file from 
directories/files existing in that branch (with "cvs add" .)

(The reason: using "cvs branch" to add such a tag can only be done by the 
system administrators but you can use "cvs add" without any problem to add 
files to a branch (even if the files already exist in CVS HEAD.))

As for KOffice 1.4 (or 2.0 or whatever), be careful that it will probably not 
be released before late 2005 and that until then many user visible strings 
will still be changed. So it is up to you and your team to see, if you want 
to try to follow the changes day-by-day on KOffice CVS HEAD or if you would 
want to translate only later.
