Deploying Qt applications on Android

The internationalization application requires a QM file to be loaded correctly. On Windows and Linux, we choose to install them alongside the target executable. However, this is not always a good approach, especially on Android. The path is more complicated than the desktop operating systems. Besides, we're building a Qt application instead of the Java application. Localization is definitely different from a plain Java application, as stated in the Android documentation.
