Since you are asking here, I presume that you are using
Ubuntu. Here are some quick steps that should work at
least on 8.04 (Hardy):
1. Install Kannada language packs from Synaptic, or with
apt-get install language-support-kn language-pack-kn language-pack-kde-kn
2. Compile .po to .mo
msgfmt -cv kturtle.po -o kturtle.mo
3. Put the .mo file in the right place
mv kturtle.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/kn/LC_MESSAGES/
4. Restart kturtle

Please also consider contributing back your translations to
the Kannada KDE localisation team. See

for contact details.
