Sorry, I stand corrected.

Anyway, it looks like your code works equally well because you demand to
the Qt Resource system to choose the right file based on the current
locale. It might well be that Mark's example didn't use the same trick
(maybe his resources weren't using the same aliased name but the raw
filenames).

Does this answer your question?
