kapp was dropped quite a while ago because it caused a type problem with some 
gcc versions. I could go back and look at that again. However, kapp isn't 
really necessary, because it's set by calling KApplication.kApplication(), 
which is static and can be called from anywhere without a KApplication 
instance. Simply put:

    kapp = KApplication.kApplication()

wherever you need the value. You can make kapp (or whatever name you choose) a 
Python global if that helps (but not until KApplication has been 
instantiated).

None that I'm aware of.  i18n is used the same as in C++:

    from kdecore import i18n

    someString = i18n("some string")

As far as implementing the actual translation stuff - I can't help you there.
