yes .. Kbabel have the very helpful Rough Translation .. You need to have a 
translation database .. which can be created from the existing translated 
strings in the PO files .. then it will use the existing Database to try to 
make fuzzy translation .. usually around 20% of the rough translated strings 
are exact translations ( you know strings repeat everywhere unfortunately) .. 
and this will somehow help increase the speed of translation ..

And as I am Using KDE 3.1 RC2 ( released 2 days ago) the Kbabel that comes 
with it comes more helpful for roughly translating whole directories while 
older version can do rough translation on separate files ..
