The problem of Qt6 is many packages in wild is using the "private" Qt
ABI that the Qt developers do not expect other packages to use.  This is
different from most packages.

Regarding the translation issue I still think the translator should
simply disable the overly-restrictive "checking" in some translation
platforms, instead of randomly changing the English book to satisfy
them.  The grammar constructions of different languages are just so
different that those checking are stupid.
