I know many of our developers are international users. I wonder if we
could get some sort of collective effort going to help translate

That seems like a good approach.
As for Translations - what is the state of translations on Trinity in
general? I only use English so I am not really aware of it. How many
languages do we provide? do we have any translators willing to do
this?
As of now Trinity translations are mostly the KDE 3.5.10 ones with very
few updates, so most new Trinity strings aren't translated at all, and
display in English instead. If and when I find the time I could update
some French translations.

Calvin, I responded to your
request for suggestions toward improving KControl. Let me
know when you need help with testing.
Thanks! It's rather lengthy I need to review each of those
ideas.
Overall they look like valid choices. I like the idea of
separating
peripherals and other customizations. If not it's an 100%
agreement,
maybe a few small details.
I am going to create a Etherpad with your ideas copied into
it. After
doing my own review I will be asking Trinity users and
developers for
further ideas and modifications.
Okeydokey. How about a multi-phase approach?
First address those items involving basic tree list reorganization.
Those items require editing and creating some XML files but no code
hacking.
Second phase would be those items that require code hacking, such
as moving group boxes from one location to another.
Third phase involves renaming various categories. Although this
sounds easy, I offer this phase last because of translations. Some
of these should be straightforward, such as splitting Regional &
Accessibility and Sound & Multimedia. Others will be a challenge,
such as renaming Peripherals to Hardware and creating a new
category named System Information. Maybe we do the best we can with
various translation tools and hope for the best.
The KControl tree list structure is defined in
tdebase/applnk/kde-settings.menu. The individual tree list
categories are named in various
main/tdebase/applnk/kde-settings*.directory files. I haven't looked
further to see how the sub items in each category are created.
