Christian, you were right in your guess. Indeed, the file 
translations.qrc is filled manually. Sorry that did not write about this 
at once. But unfortunately your recipe did not work. I see that qm-files 
are created in the assembly directory, but there is no resulting 
qrc-file. In addition, I have a couple more groups with resources. Will 
these groups be handled correctly?

     Group {
         name: "smileys"
         files: {
             var f = [];
             if (project.useSmileys === "yes")
                 f = ["smileys/emojione.qrc"];
             else if (project.useSmileys === "min")
                 f = ["smileys/smileys.qrc"];
             return f;
         }
     }

     Group {
         name: "resources"
         files: [
             "res.qrc",
         ]
     }


P.S. I can provide a link to the project on github, if that helps.
