Most likely yes.

While I like this, unfortunately it's a bit hard to use in Qt. AFAIK Qt doesn't
allow you to specify the domain which should be used for translating a string;
instead, you have to preload the domain(s), and then just translate the string
hoping that the same string is not present in more than one domain.

That's why in harmattan we are using one global <translations> tag; but it's
just a trick to make life easier for Qt developers, your suggestion is better.

This is also OK.
