So, if you put all kde translations in kde-i18n-**, you will have to do this 
with the others kde apps which have a different release cycle.

For example : a new version of k3b is released. You have to take the new 
k3b.po and re-upload kde-i18n.

If I want to upgrade k3b, I have to download i18n-xy just for k3b.po

And the users would have to always keep the last stable version of every kde 
apps they want.

And what if I want to keep an old koffice with the last kde ?

Option 3 is very not modular... I also vote for option 2.
