Hehe, I know what you mean. But yes, that is the way to do it. The problem is 
that we are loading from xml. The xml-code is parsed with a "nice" sed-script 
(see Makefile.am) to a temporary .cpp-file. This is parsed with xgettext so 
that the stuff is found in the .pot und .po-files.
Now, on runtime, the i18n() compares the content of the variable with the 
internal strings (those available for translation). Only if a match is found 
it will substitute with the translated string even though there is no fix 
string (only the variable).
Strange but works :) KDE's blackmagic.
