We had the same problem and solved it by implementing a special message
class that contains two QStrings, one translated, one original.  The
application then may decide which version of the message it needs. This
works, although creating a message looks awful:

  ICMessage( "Context", QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP( "Context", "EnglishMessage" ) );

The constructor uses code similar to

  m_original = text;
  m_localized = QCoreApplication::translate( context, text );

Unfortunately you cannot define a macro for the constructor QT_TRANSLATE
stuff, as lupdate would not find the strings :-(
