[Interest] Qt.conf and desktop application

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Can't you load translation files programmatically with QTranslator?

Can't help with QML though. I don't know what you're doing there and why 
you need to set Qml2Imports.

I wish I could only add a few lines at the beginning of my C++ but it doesn't seem possible to modify the translation file into a .qrc file. Ok, I guess the qt.conf is only for release overwrite when deploying, but I still have no solution to make this work properly into debug and QtCreator then.
