Thanks Tiago for your suggestion. However, Launchpad uses gettext and
cannot import .ts files.

If we cannot use intltool directly, this might be the way to go. So I
guess we could put qt/ui_qtfront.cpp in POTFILES.in and make sure it is
generated before intltool is executed. Then intltool would work as usual
and put the messages from the .cpp file into the checkbox.pot file.

The Ubuntu One guys are also using a Qt frontend, and it might be worth
talking to them to see how they're handling translations and share the
knowledge and practices.

Cheers,
