But this doesn't help me at all as I need it in gettext format
(without the scope). It's not the technical part that concerns me,
but the license/copyright part.

And I know what the Scope and the Key is, but how to translate
"Scope/Key" to german. And I bet, that "pure" translators would
have a real problem if they're asked to translate it. So I better
removed qdeveloper.cpp messages.
