Fair enough.
I've checked some qt_XX.qm files coming with Qt:
--
/var/tmp/qt_cs.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_cs.ts-        <translation>Dolů</translation>
--
/var/tmp/qt_de.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_de.ts-        <translation>Runter</translation>
--
/var/tmp/qt_hu.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_hu.ts-        <translation>Le</translation>
--
/var/tmp/qt_ja.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_ja.ts-        <translation>↓</translation>
--
/var/tmp/qt_ko.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_ko.ts-        <translation>아래</translation>

/var/tmp/qt_pl.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_pl.ts-        <translation>Dół</translation>
--
/var/tmp/qt_ru.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_ru.ts-        <translation>Вниз</translation>
--
/var/tmp/qt_zh_CN.ts:        <source>Down</source>
/var/tmp/qt_zh_CN.ts-        <translation>Down</translation>


Therefore I think there is no need to translate the terms manually.

However Qt doesn't provide qt_xx.qm files for all languages we have in
Transifex (at least my Qt installation). But for every language where we
have active contributions.
