[Localization] Dear Qt Team, what should I do if the the translation of <source> message is missing?

Sat May 6 19:40:36 CEST 2023

Hello Oswald. About what you said:

you leave this alone for the time being and submit new changes with the
> actual

translation on top.

Suppose that I want to translate this *"AddImageToResources"* module first,
which has only 5 entries in total.
Should I:

   1. Create a new branch called: *10-zh-tw-addimagetoresources*
   2. Translate these 5 strings of AddImageToResources in Qt Linguist
   3. Stage and commit the changes with the message, *l10n(zh_TW):
   AddImageToResources*
   4. Push to the Gerrit with command: *git push gerrit refs/for/10.0*

 Is that what you mean?
