Which is the purpose of PO and XLIFF: convert the original source  
file to a standard bilingual format for translation so that in the  
end you don't have to support a multiplicity of source format but  
only one (or two) intermediate formats.

Besides, I don't see why Qt's translation format is more relevant to  
a *PO files* editor than XLIFF.
