What you can do is get LyX 1.1.6, and take from that po/lyx.pot. You
can try to merge that with your existing klyx translation, but I fear
that many things will not match. The po file contains many items,
among which the menus and translation of the textclass files. You can
ignore the later in a first step if you whish. There are probably
things I could tell you to help, but I forget which :) Please ask here
if anything seems unclear.

Did you try the koma-script classes? They are designed to fit european
conventions. The problem is not in general the size of the margin, but
the length of the lines of text. If a line is too long, the
readability is not very good (should be 75 signs for english
language).
