IMHO the locale, translation would be a blocker still. Because it will
cause programs to fail. It's not just a locale/translation warning.

I'm currently brushing up my latest qtwebengine build. Will resubmit
this patch. I will also see if I can inherit qtsvg again to put this
back on par with other module packages. From there I'll put a simple
test example together demonstrating the locale and translation problem.
