Description

Enhancement's description:
Empty translation entries are clearly not translated. Non-finished translations should probably not be included as well. To be investigated, needs to match Qt Linguist.

Expected behavior / output:
QM file does not contain empty and unfinished translations.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the QM file generation code in the repository, identify where empty or unfinished translations are included, and modify the logic to skip them. Verify behavior against Qt Linguist.
