Does it work on Windows? I do not remember to know anyone GUI
application without option to change language by GUI. Do you know how
to change locale after running application? (QEvent::LocaleChange ?)
If this is not possible then dynamic change application language will
be lost.

+1. Most software I use allow me to manually override the language without messing with the environment variables. And here we are talking about a functionality we already have. Removing it would be a big loss in my opinion.

This is only true in case that we do not lose any feature (or user experience)
