All kinds of things. Here are just a few examples.

  * QFileDialog
  * QMessageBox
  * context menus of standard elements like QTextEdit

Rebuilding all these seems to be a huge task to me and not worth the 
effort just to port them to using gettext. I'd rather suggest getting 
the translation right. For my project (eric-ide) I am using QTranslator 
based translations exclusively. Maybe mixing both translation methods is 
not the best decision. But that is up to the individual project.
