There's no way to make that work with MSVC 2010. If you want this to work, 
your options are:

 a) upgrade to MSVC 2015 Update 3 and add the "-utf-8" option to 
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS.

 b) upgrade to MSVC 2015 any version and write:
	tr(u8"Co\u00F6rdinaat")
  note: it's very likely that lupdate does *not* understand this! if that's 	  
  the case, file a bug report and "hide" the u8 with a macro
#define tr(x)		tr(u8 ## x)

Or, your fallback option: stop using unicode literals.
