Translators are providing translations through translation source files (TS / .ts):

src/res/translation/translation_*.ts

Prior to release, these need to be turned into (QM / .qm) files and shipped with the app. Currently, this is done manually. QM files are in a compact binary format that is used by the localized application.

These QM files are currently sitting in the source tree:

src/res/translation/translation_*.qm

Suggested action:

• QM files (binary blobs!) have no business residing in the source tree. And the ones that are currently in there are not consistently updated anyway. They also lead to confusion (e.g. see Updated Polish translation for 3.7.0 release #1099). To be removed.
• These QM files should be generated as part of the build process.
