For nl_NL all qt-elements in the dialogs are in English whereas other
languages are recognized by qt. Checking the directory
/usr/share/qt4/translations
I found out that there is no dutch translation for qt!

In /usr/share/qt4/translations I also discovered a few translation files
for Qscintilla (cs,de,es,fr,pt_br and ru). I therefore also added a
QTranslator to the gui which tries to load the appropriate qsci language
file.

"Translation" is correctly checked for this label ("Cursor type:") in
settings-dialog.ui and it can be found in the file nl_NL.ts.

Confirmed, updated in the sources.

Confirmed, those will be updated in the language files.

These already are included in the language files.

Like for the qt-dialog elements there is no dutch translation for these
qt-strings

These are now (cset cd29604214c5) translated if the Qscintilla
translation file is found.

This leads to the question what we should do with the Qscintilla
translations for languages not supported by Qscintilla itself. I suggest
to add the relevant Qscintilla source files while scanning all sources
for text strings that have to be translated. There are altogether 108
descriptions of the editor styles for the supported programming
languages (and a few strings for the editor's context menu).

And what about the languages missing in the qt translations?

QtLinguist now automatically loads the Qscintilla text to translate.

But I can't find them when using Octave.
