Yes: convince the third-party API to use QString too, since it's superior 
in most aspects.

But, in case you can't...

Just like when using const char * or QByteArray, you need to know which 
encoding the string must be. That's why I said std::string is a byte 
array, not a string.

So, if you want to use std::string, you must choose the encoding 
correctly. You probably need to do the conversion in two steps and start 
with converting to QByteArray (under the correct encoding), then convert 
to std::string manually.
