This way, we can avoid putting a huge Hash into the .cpp file, and just get everything from the .po file. As long as the same catalog is used, we don't actually have to have every single string in the code. This could reduce the size of the binary by quite a bit.

Dunno, it could work. Let's hear from someone from i18n team.

I thought for some localizations it could be useful...like we put i18n around names in KAboutData.

> So in Plasma 5 we're adding support for timezones into the clock applet. It's based on QTimeZone and that uses IDs which are consisting of "Continent/City". Qt has no accessor methods for getting the city of the given timezone so we're parsing the timezone ID and using the part after "/" as the city and we display that in the UI.

So I've created this helper class which has a dictionary of timezone-id-city<-->i18n(city) and this is then used in the UI. I'm not sure where exactly to put it, I'd prefer KI18n framework but as we would like to have this in Plasma 5.1 release, I put it together with the applet as Plasma 5.1 does not (and probably will not) depend on KI18n 5.3.
