Actually I just ran the installer, even if you don't run it as root it should work. If you don't run it as root it installs in /home/username/.mozilla/plugins which is one of the folders that Konqueror scans by default on startup.

Ack, was typing my post while you replied. I dunno, I'm fairly n00bish myself even though I've been fiddling with Linux for five years. You'd think I'd know what I was doing by now. I thought usually by localization they mean country, language, etc. I would have though the initial install of Kubuntu set the localization. I'll have to defer to someone more knowledgeable than me on that one. Odd though that the flashplayer installer isn't working for you.
