1. the skolelinux-specific things: install questions, documentation, custom 
webmin modules
2. new debian-installer, debconf templates, other debian-specific stuff
3. KDE, Openoffice, Webmin (the web-based adming tool we use) other used 
programs as needed (and as manpower allows)

focus and scope of non-skolelinux specific translations differs from 
language to language though, for example for Dutch we're currently 
focussing on translations for Debian (as both KDE and openoffice have 
active translation teams for Dutch, wheras debian-l10n-dutch was in 
hibernation), while the Norwegian language teams are doing lots of work on 
KDE and openoffice for Norwegian Nynorsk, Norwegian Bokmål, and Northern 
Sami (they even managed to get some goverment funding for this)

Is there some status info somewhere regarding how the KDE-translation teams 
are doing, that I could forward to the different language-coordinators 
within Skolelinux?

naturally

in general yes where not we'll get involved, when time and manpower permits 
(e.g. the 3 norwegian languages on the moment)

we use xml2pot, po2xml and friends from KDE-SDK for documentation, 
kbabel is used by several translators, I use kdict quite often

any other tools I ought to know about?

and those are only the schools that have went through the trouble of going 
to the skolelinux website and entering themselves, so it's a lower 
bound :-)
