Hello,
We should have released LXQt 0.8 last weekend, but it's blocked by an
issue related to translations and data files.
Now some translations and data files are installed to /usr/share/lxqt,
while others are installed to /usr/share/lxqt-qt5.
This inconsistency breaks some translations.
The /usr/share/lxqt-qt5 dir is mainly used by base libraries which
supports Qt4 and Qt5 at the same time, such as liblxqt. All other
programs currently install their files to /usr/share/lxqt regardless
of Qt version.

Should we unify this by installing all data files of every component
to /usr/share/lxqt-qt5 when compiled with Qt5? Or just install
everything to /usr/share/lxqt for both Qt4 and Qt5?

Luis seems to prefer using different data dirs for Qt4 and Qt5 builds.
But if we're going to do this, then every components need to be fixed
for the change. Personally I'm fond of using just /usr/share/lxqt
since the -qt5 suffix looks redundant, but maybe using a different dir
is better since we'll encounter the same issue when Qt 6 is released.
We'll have Qt 5/6 support then.
Any comments? If there're no objections, I think we can update every
component and install their data to /usr/share/lxqt-qt5.

Regards
