Well, the docs say how to make this happen, but IMHO it's not really a 
practicable solution for large projects:
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.5/i18n.html#dynamic-translation

My trivial "solution" is to NOT allow on-the-fly language changes... that 
is, since I use Qt 4. I remember this worked fine at the times I used Qt 
3.

I'm not aware of a way to make it ignore texts (in UIs), but if you don't 
want to translate these texts from the UI file, just leave them empty (in 
Designer)!
