Why not try

	designer = designer + os.path.join('.app', 'Contents', 'MacOS', 
'designer')

instead of the a.m. second line. This would make it usable directly from 
within eric3. Can you please test it? If this works ok, I would like to 
include it for other tools as well.

Do the calls to Qt-Linguist, pyuic ('Compile Form'), pyupdate ('Generate 
translation') and lrelease ('Release translations') work ok on Mac OSX?
