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

Excuse me, Eike.

If I'm not mistaken, it is related to what items we specified in
*BUILD_PLUGINS* cache variables, right?
Since I use the default configurePreset *"cmake-plugin-minimal"* to
configure the project,
only those plugins specified in BUILD_PLUGINS cache variables will be
enabled, right?
If so, then why not qtcreator adds all the possible plugins into the
BUILD_PLUGINS in "cmake-plugin-minimal"?
Is there any reason not to do that? Or is it just that Qt Team forgot to
modify CMakePresets.json?
