Yes, you are right. But now the translated file contains plural strings instead 
of singular ones. For example:

#: /usr/share/kde4/templates/TextDocument.desktop
msgctxt "Name(TextDocument.desktop)"
msgid "Text Document..."
-msgstr "Documento di testo..."
+msgstr "Documenti di testo..."

The original string is singular, the new one is plural (the same happens for all 
templates ending with "Document...")

A string that does not follow standard translation:

+#: /usr/share/kde4/apps/kabc/formats/kdeaccountsplugin.desktop
#: /opt/kde3/share/apps/kabc/formats/kdeaccountsplugin.desktop
-#: /usr/share/kde4/apps/kabc/formats/kdeaccountsplugin.desktop
msgctxt "Name(kdeaccountsplugin.desktop)"
msgid "KDE Repository Accounts"
-msgstr "Account della sorgente di installazione di KDE"
+msgstr "Account del deposito di KDE"

Repository is always translated as "sorgente di installazione" and not as 
"deposito"

For ambiguous strings:

#: /usr/share/applications/kde4/systemsettings.desktop
msgctxt "Name(systemsettings.desktop)"
msgid "Personal Settings"
-msgstr "Impostazioni personali di sistema"
+msgstr "Impostazioni di sistema"

The new string can be retranslated as "System settings". Probably the best translation for this 
string is "Impostazioni personali" (without "di sistema")

And for fuzzy strings:

#: /opt/kde3/share/apps/carddecks/decks/deck13.desktop
msgctxt "Name(deck13.desktop)"
msgid "Copy"
-msgstr "Copia"
+msgstr "Impronta"

"Impronta" is the translation of mark, print, but surely not copy.

Andrea
