[Localization] Should I build the "ts_zh_TW_cleaned" to lupdate the qtcreator_zh_TW.ts?

[Haowei Hsu]

Thanks for your detailed reply, Eike!!

According to what you said,

The ts_<lang> target creates .ts files that are good for using Linguist,
> but not suitable for submitting to the repository.
> The ts_<lang>_cleaned target creates .ts files that are acceptable for the
> repository, but less suitable for Linguist


If I *"don't need the suggestions"* from Qt Linguist, then I can simply:

   1. use *"ts_zh_TW_cleaned"* target to lupdate the qtcreator_zh_TW.ts
   2. do translations in qtcreator_zh_TW.ts
   3. push the changes to Gerrit for review

without using *"ts_zh_TW"* target and those complicated Git operations.
Right?
