Not really. All translations need to be part of a .qm file and be loaded 
& installed through QTranslator / QCoreApplication::installTranslator().

How should Qt now about the possible translation(s) beforehand? So, there 
must be some sort of a translation source anyway, which in your case 
could/should be the DB itself. Simply extend the data model and store 
translated versions of the texts in a "translation table". Then, query 
and present that.
