Yes, QLocale::uiLanguages() returns the list of user preferences, i.e. the LANGUAGE or LC_ALL or LC_MESSAGES or LANG envar on Linux (in order of preference).  The list of available KDE translations is different.  KLocalizedString has a new method for 5.0 availableApplicationTranslations(), but the docs state:

     * Get the languages for which there exists the translation catalog file
     * for the set application translation domain.
     *
     * The application domain is set by \c setApplicationDomain.
     * If the application domain was not set, empty set is returned.
     * If the application domain was set, the language set will always
     * contain at least the source code language (<tt>en_US</tt>).

I suspect as we want the languages the user can switch the application into then it should be the right method provided the application domain is set by the application.
