No, that's not true.

Lokalize is a complete independent rebuild, like kde4 is largely a rebuild of 
kd43. And similarly to
kde4, lokalize is still not finished: it still misses quite some crucial 
features that kbabel had,
like syntax checking. You can upload faulty translations made with lokalize 
that can crash an
application, whereas kbabel catches the error.

Lokalize is a magnificent program, yes, but it is still not finished. I will be 
enchanted to be able
to use it when it is done, or at least, all crucial features.

Which is the problem, precisely. You can find it in the KDE3 repos for 11.2, 
not in oss. It was part
of the default kde installation back in 11.0, IIRC. At least, It was for sure 
part of the oss repo.

Rekall is a programmable, personal Database Management System (DBMS) for KDE 
and KOffice. With
Rekall you will be able to quickly and easily build database applications using 
Rekall forms and
reports. A full complement of widgets means that applications built in Rekall 
will be able to have
the look and feel of any other application. Rekall applications can be extended 
in their
functionality to perform virtually any task via embedded Python as a scripting 
language.
