Yes, I most certainly would be interested in extending the test coverage.
But I intended to do it "full-range", that is starting from test PO files
(which are already there), once I get to it. And first I need to document it
better :) Currently all there is is this wiki page:
http://techbase.kde.org/Localization/Concepts/Transcript

As for the port away from KJS, I have to state again that I see no value in
that. Having ki18n be tier 1 is of no use: if someone is so tight on
dependencies that using a tier 2 framework is a problem, then ki18n is the
first thing to dump in favor of built-in Qt translation system, tier 1 or
not. Note that ki18n also brings into play all the Gettext tools, as opposed
to self-contained Qt translation tools. The only possible advantage of ki18n
in tier 1 is that it can be used by tier 2 frameworks, of which there is not
much by my estimate (and between tier 1 and tier 3, I also fail to see the
reason for existence of tier 2).
