It would be much better for installation and performance if we had a single resource file for a language containing all translations. Both for QObject::tr and k18n.
There is currently no such mechanism. But most of the time during installation of Kleopatra is spent installing translation files
Of the 1800 files gpg4win is currently installing 1178 are qm and mo files and loading / searching them even for a single language start takes time.

I do not think that this is an issue after analyzing procmon timings. It is only an installation time issue. For that there is no real reason to spend much effort on this.
We have already reduced the number of installed languages and might even reduce them further.
