qtlinguist belongs to qttools, doesn't it?

The main issue in properly packaging converseen is, IMO, to remove the
(auto)update code all over the place.

For the record, here's a draft, without the check updates cleanup:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public converseen
  (package
    (name "converseen")
    (version "0.9.11.1")
    (source (origin
              (method git-fetch)
              (uri (git-reference
                    (url "https://github.com/Faster3ck/Converseen")
                    (commit (string-append "v" version))))
              (file-name (git-file-name name version))
              (sha256
               (base32
                "0nxvac8df47gxg1klqlz0s3rxl0ykrikmciniwkb938bgilmaijm"))))
    (build-system cmake-build-system)
    (arguments
     (list
      #:tests? #false                   ;no tests
      #:phases
      #~(modify-phases %standard-phases
          (add-after 'unpack 'set-translations-location
            ;; Fix translations location.
            (lambda _
              (substitute* "src/translator.cpp"
                (("QString\\(\"%1/share/converseen/loc\"\\).arg\\(rootPath\\)")
                 (string-append "QString(\""
                                #$output
                                "/share/converseen/loc\")")))))
          ;; (add-after 'unpack 'disable-updates-checks
          ;;   ;; Disable "Check for updates" since there's no use for it
          ;;   ;; in Guix and we don't want software to phone home.
          ;;   (lambda _
          ;;     (error "foo")))
          )))
    (native-inputs
     (list pkg-config qttools-5))
    (inputs
