Is this actually valid? I don't expect that Qt 5 will always be able to read QM
files produced for Qt 6. The other way around is probably not guaranteed
either.

IMO the translations need to contain the Qt version in their path name, either
filename or somewhere in the installation path.

This is also an issue for e.g. kimageannotator:
