[Interest] Qt6 : linguist + *.ts files creation

[Max Paperno]

Hi Nicholas,

The initial .ts files are also created when running lupdate from a 
command line or as part of your build (if the .ts file(s) will be 
created if they don't already exist).  The process is described here:
https://doc.qt.io/Qt-5/linguist-manager.html#using-lupdate

QtCreator also has context menus items within projects to facilitate 
adding translations (IIRC).

While the wiki article gives a decent example of implementation, it 
doesn't actually explain any background information.  There's really 
more to internationalization than just some translations, and the 
translation system has features that may be useful for other things as 
well. I'd highly recommend reading the whole Internationalization 
section of the Qt docs:
https://doc.qt.io/Qt-5/internationalization.html

HTH,
-Max
