I just reviewed the backport commits and moved for most of them the release tag. From now on feel free to backport into the BRANCH on your decision. KDE 3.4.0 is done: Every commit in the branch will improve 3.4.1 though.

One last thing: This list is no replacement for kde-i18n-doc. Translation team leaders _have_ to read that list too, there is no way around that.
