Make a local tr() in the classes where this is needed? lupdate and 
friends would never know it's not the right one you call and you can set 
a local switch in there.

I considered something like maybeTr() and do a list of all translated 
strings with tr() inside it. But then you loose the context of the 
string in linguist. Subclassing QTranslator or my idea above sounds like 
the two most interesting options. If you go with a version that sets a 
bool, be careful to make your code exception safe.
