Brainstorming:

There is one other possible way we could have i18n automatically select the right catalog, even if you have imports from QML files all over the place.

 - define all i18n functions in javascript instead of C++
 - have them do something like
          function i18n(text) { i18nd(__catalogName, text);

then imports or applications or whatever need to declare a:
 readonly property string __catalogName: "catalogName"
somewhere in the root file qml file, as well as in any imported file.

Because JS would then be evaluating the catalog name, it would find the variable in the right scope, and thus the right catalogName.
