IMHO it would also be nice if you could somehow do the translation on client 
side. i.e. the server sends only a message id and possibly QString::arg() 
arguments or an untranslated message and possibly arguments. In the latter 
case those untranslated messages would need to be added to the client (e.g. 
#include'd) with I18N_NOOP for it to work. That way it would be possible for 
each player to choose her own GUI language independent of the server and the 
other players.
