This is not going to work, you need to undefine TRANSLATION_DOMAIN include \
klocalizedstring again and then call this i18nc so it gets it from the "global" (i.e. \
the app) catalog and not from the kxmlgui5 catalog

who translated the running KDE-based application (KAboutData::translators()). However \
it relies on the application developer to call KAboutData::setTranslator() since \
KCoreAddons (a Tier 1 framework) cannot use KI18n directly. Instead the Qt \
translation infrastructure is used where translations are unavoidable, but that is \
not compatible with KF5's i18n. This (IIUC) gives different behavior than KDE4, where \

relatively central location for KF5-using applications) we can use KI18n and get the \
accurately-translated message. Feeding the already-translated information into \
