I think at this point, the people requesting more flexibility with the
translation system, are very well aware of how it currently works.
It just isn't very helpfull in the majority of use-cases.

The most mininal changes so we can hook in the more common use-cases, would
be:
1. Don't complain about using expressions rather than constants (discussed
before: the generator should never block this)
So, this should be legal code in the eyes of the generator.
this.tr('hello');
2. Allow us to 'force-feed' translation dynamically at run-time. Something
very similar to:
qx.translation.Manager.setTranslation('nl', 'hello','hallo');
This would automatically update all the strings marked at
this.tr('hello');if the locale is set to 'nl'
Give us that, and we can easily plug in our own systems.
