Alternatively you can specifiy the files to translate and the
translations to update on the command line:

pylupdate4 <ui_files> <python_files> -ts <translation_files>

Use "lrelease" from Qt [1] to compile the translations, and deploy the
compiled translations along with your program.  In your program you
need to create a "QTranslator" [2] to load these compiled
translations.  There a different ways of deploying the translations
(e.g. as distutils package data), but the easiest is probably to
include them as resource (using "pyrcc4").

You should read the "Qt Linguist" manual [3], which describes the Qt
translation process in detail, and the corresponding chapter in the
PyQt Reference Guide [4], which describes the PyQt specific
differences to this process.
