I know, but I think we can assume devs who only use Qt and tier 1
frameworks are aware that they need to load Qt translations themselves.
This problem is not limited to frameworks: if you create a Qt-only
application and make use of QDialogButtonBox or QMessageBox, then you
already have to load Qt translations yourself, regardless of whether you
are using KDE frameworks or not.
