This doesn't work this way. You really should read the HowTos on 
http://i18n.kde.org/teams/de/ to understand how this works. The .desktop 
files of a module (e.g. keg-3) are gathered into one big .pot file,
see 
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kde-i18n/templates/kdeextragear-3/

You need to translate these templates using KBabel and send them to the de 
translation manager, Thomas Diehl. He will commit them for you.
