Possibility to switch languages on the fly, thus alowing to fallback on an other one than english when a bit of translation is missing.

In order to show how much work has already gone into the KDE 4 series, specifically the KDE 4.0 release , list the "pillars of KDE" as well as a short description and a screenshot: Plasma, Oxygen, Phonon,Solid, Kross, Decibel,Sonnet,...

As an example, feature a couple of applications that make use of these features (Amarok, Koffice, Desktop)

In the release announcement the following questions need to be answered so that haters can't bash KDE without reason:

1. Why has the development of KDE 4 taken so long? (Difference between 4 & 4.0; QT4,...)
2. KDE 4 was supposed to be such a big leap forward, how come feature X is not implemented, although it was hyped so much before? (Difference 4 & 4.0, the development of the KDE 4 series is done when KDE 5.0 is released)
3. Pillars of KDE sounds fancy, but should I as a user care?
4. KDE 4.0 looks great, but what's in it for me as a developer?
