Notes
Talked to Vladimir who could give some more insights why id-based translations are preferred by some customers:
- translations can be re-used in completely separate parts of the project
- developers might not be fluent in English, separation between source code and displayed text is important
- id naming: some people create a tree-like hierarchy of objects and reflect them in string IDs
Linguist
- not easily accessible for translators, since they have to install the whole Qt framework. The version available on the Qt's download page is very old.
- provide a web based version using web assembly
