The idea was not to test translatability (that is; to test KLocale)
the idea was to repalce KLocale with something we can control 100% and by
doing so we don't have to think about 'strange' influences in the test where
klocale might do something we did not think about.

ve
an 'all-ok'.  This means; we should not use any options or otherwise from t=
he
software we are not testing.
