If you use standard app template (based on libsailfishapp), then it
should load the translation automatically, based on your phone's locale:

https://github.com/sailfish-sdk/libsailfishapp/blob/master/src/sailfishapp_priv.cpp#L110

If not, you have to load and install the translation yourself. In my
app, I do it like this (however, I ship translations in resources, thus
":/l10n" path):

I also try to load Qt translation file, else all strings that come from
Qt will remain in English.
