this definitely won't work as-is.

you're putting a string that's translated back into i18n. So you'll be running
i18n("zehn nach %1", 11), the first argument won't match anything in the .pot file which is looking for "ten past %1", so it'll just fail to find anything but if you do a simple find and replace on $1 to the hour, you won't get this transcript thing running. 

Hardcoding a hack for this won't work as we also need the 10:25 going to "five to half to eleven" that we have in German.

I think we're going to need methods in kdeclarative that return KLocalizedStrings exposed via ki18nc. Then add expose these as QML metatypes. Then we need to add i18, i18c, i18nc, i18d, i18ncd methods that accept KLocalizedStrings as arguments as a first arg QStrings.. for every amount of arguments.

Or you can make everyone learn English where we're all normal.
