So? Too late for 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 anyway, so we could simply update our webpages
and say that 1.3.2 (or 1.3.3) require Qt 3.2. But I've seen you ifdef'ed the whole code
(good idea, patch --ifdef). I just hope it doesn't break anything.

I disagree. You don't have to choose "one feature" against "many bug fixes".
You can get the feature *and* the many bugfixes, simply by requiring Qt 3.2.

Support for a new language makes the application work for a whole new set
of users for whom it wasn't useable at all previously - that's not just "one new feature",
it's making the application useable for those people.
