Another possibility:
Do something like I did with the grass modules, ie. generate cpp-code from
en-US version and let linguist pick those up.  And let the rest work as usual.

I've started to do that (ie. create a QHash for QgsExpression and something for
the context_helps).   I'll also replace the help viewer with something in gui
(we use webkit in qgis anyway).

That way we would also not have to worry that the context and function help
gets translated at all (AFAIK it's currently in the normal process) and also
see when something needs to be updated (that doesn't happen now either).
