Just to be clear; I  am talking about the 'context' as used in the first 
argument to QCoreApplication::translate() method.

Having the frameworks-libs always specify that (you can probably write a unit 
test that fails if this is not done) sounds like the best solution to me.

Then any app string will never resolve to a string in any framework.
