I'll have to double-check with KDevelop4 but I think they did work there. And 
they work in other KF5 applications, even complex ones like digiKam5.
They don't work with certain Plasma packages, e.g. in the KCMs; I'm tempted to 
assume that's likely because those aren't supposed to be used outside of a full-
blown Plasma environment.

Hmmm, that could be searching for a needle in a haystack with KDevelop, but it's 
worth giving it a try.
Is there an opposite approach I can take, searching through the source code to 
see if non-standard paths are specified? From the little I've seen of it I 
understand that translations are handled through the KI18N framework, but there 
must be some kind of initialisation taking place somewhere, no?
