It's very probable that i will accept your patch, because i really
need your help. ;)
But i have some remarks:

1. The "language selection" frame you created should be the part of
the "program settings" frame.
But there's no program settings frame so far. ;) I don't want to
select language at every startup.
Can we skip this frame, and can kati start with the default language?
To test your code
i will change the language, and recompile it. ;)
Latter we (maybe you) will make a project settings and there you can
implement the "language selection".

2. The following example should be a little bit simpler:
 JMenuItem prog = new JMenu(KLanguage.KLanguage(
Kati.location,"KatiMenu", "Program"));
 JMenuItem prog = new JMenu(kLang.getTransaltion("KatiMenu.Program"));
We will use it very often. So its worth to keep it simple.

KLanguage kLang = KLanguage(language); should be somewhere in the
Kati, but before KWindows creation. ;)
Fisrt we should set language by hand. Latter as i mentioned from the
project settings.

I hope that i didn't scary you with the tons of remarks. I dont want
to cut your freedom, just to make your debut perfect! ;)
