No KDE upstream translations imported to Rosetta?

As it has been stated already in another thread on this list: the
problem you see is with the import script, which marked all KDE4
packages as 'need review', because they are new. This means that someone
has to review the import queue and manually (!) assign proper domain
names to each template to get them approved. Further more there was a
communication problem between the Rosetta and Ubuntu teams about the
queue management. There is work going on as we speak to batch approve
all outstanding templates and upstream translations. We will let you
know when it's done.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers
Arne
