Okay, I see now the repositories (lxqt-about, etc) have their
translations checked in, so the next release will have translations
files in the tarballs.  In the meantime, we could add 'lxqt-l10n' as a
package to get translations for those LXQt applications.  I tried to
build lxqt-l10n, but its CMakeLists.txt can't be used as-is, I'd leave
it now...

Yeah, thanks for the explanation.
