This is exactly what this metaport does, too ("...and enables non-interacti=

).
Let me take this opportunity to say that I would very much appreciate it if=
=20
people would actually _look_ at the port first, then comment on it, this=20
time.

Really pre-selecting a language (i.e. that will be used right on the very=20
first startup) is a bit difficult to implement from a port (kpersonalizer=20
takes care of that). We could convert kde3-i18n into another menudriven por=
t=20
(again with non-interactive knobs as an alternative of course) and then=20
depend on it from kde3, so people could select which languages are availabl=
e.=20
I will look into that.
