### Missing QtBase Translations
The default Qt dialogs also have translations, for instance for standard buttons for "Yes", "No",
"Ok", "Cancel", etc. Generally, these translations files are installed with the Qt libraries on
your system, and novelWriter will collect those translations from there. However, these
translations are missing for many languages.
As a starting point, there is no need to translate any entries in the `.ts` files that are under
elements starting with the letter "Q", like "QPlatformTheme", "QWizard", etc. If these turn up in
English in novelWriter after activating a translation, it means they are probably missing in the Qt
library, and you may also need to translate these.
These additional translation entries are generated from a file named `i18n/qtbase.py`, which is not
a file that novelWriter uses. It is there only to generate these additional entries for the `.ts`
files.
