I hoped someone else would catch this - I don't have any experience with
translations in KDE.

Without seeing the actual files, it's difficult to be able to say. I'd
suggest things like mismatches between the encodings used in the source
code and the translation files, but I don't even know if that could be
an issue.

Can you direct us to some example .po, .mo and .py files that show the
problem? Or even to a minimal example somewhere?
