[PyQt] Translation not working for QSystemTrayIcon

[Zdenko Podobny]

I do not use .pro file - I run it manually:
pylupdate5 scratch_1.py -ts sk_SK.ts
linguist sk_SK.ts
lrelease sk_SK.ts

QTranslator.translate()
<https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtranslator.html#translate> returns
the translation for the key (context, sourceText, disambiguation). In my
example above it is not replaceable with QObject.tr()
<https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qobject.html#tr>
