Well it is. Or, don't we want kspread to be user-friendly for those not
speaking English? 
But the real problem is about this:
- ignoring the message freeze
- ignoring all the translators and breaking kspread.po without saying a
word...
- not announcing it in *any* mailing list which also violates the feature
freeze

What I think personally is that this "feature" should have been there from
the beginning...

Of course it is. But fixing kdelibs and kdebase was about adding
untranslatable strings, or fixing bugs. They weren't that many and we all
were aware about them in Erlangen.
