Yes, we should not assume that English needs no translation. As a matter of
fact I don't know where (or why) we assume that. We should assume that the
"engineering english" ideally needs a english translation (but for convenience
it can be omitted).
Actually, some of the i18n features of Qt _requires_ you to provide an English
translation. This is the case for the plural forms, where the engineer
typically writes.
tr("Found %n item(s)", 0, m_numberOfItemsFound);
And Qt will pick the singular/plural translation (that came from the
translation file) depending on the value of m_numberOfItemsFound.
