No, it's a SIP regression in v6.15.0 with the addition of support for 
PEP 604 (where Optional is no longer needed). It wasn't picked up 
earlier because PyQt v6.10.x was using an older version of SIP for the 
Python v3.9 support.

You can hack the entry for QCoreApplication.translate() in the 
QtCore.pyi file to replace...

disambiguation: str = ...

...with...

disambiguation: str|None

Thanks,
Phil
