Translations not loaded if QtCreator built with Qt5

[Sergey Shambir]

QtCreator applies localization only if both /usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_*.qm and /usr/share/qtcreator/translations/qtcreator_*.qm exist. At 29.03.2013 no package provides Qt5 translations and QtCreator cannot load own translations.

libqtcore4 - contains translations for Qt4, loaded normally if QtCreator built with Qt4
libqt5core5 - does not contain translations for Qt5

Issue have two solutions:
1) add translations for Qt5 to libqt5core5 or another package
2) apply patch to QtCreator and load itself translation at least

Patch is under review: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,52614

Ubuntu version: 13.04
Package installed: qtcreator: 2.7.0-0ubuntu1, libqt5core5: 5.0.1+dfsg-0ubuntu3b1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sergey Shambir (sergey-shambir-auto)]

Actually it's bug in Qt package. As Digia developers said about the patch, "anyway, the current behavior is there for a reason, and i have no intention of accepting a change."

So localizations should be added to qtcore5.

Workaround:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/qt4/translations/ /usr/share/qt5/translations

qttranslations5-l10n is now in saucy, which contains also qtbase_* translations.
