It might be better to do it in

XkbKeyboardBackend.cpp:184 in SDDM which is where the model comes from.

thanks, but how should I do this?
These translations doesn't belong to sddm

These translations doesn't belong to sddm

why do they belong here and not SDDM?

Searching for the translation catalog name shows that it is managed by freedesktop.org [1]. So neither KDE, nor SDDM.

So is this unnecessary, and the string should be translated somewhere over in FreeDesktop-land?

The translations are done somewhere over in freedesktop-land, but someone still needs to load them.

This does it in our theme.
My question is why is this better than doing it in the SDDM model so that it "just works" for all themes.
