Qt Phrase Book (.qph)
*********************
.. versionadded:: 1.2
Qt Linguist allows a translator to collect common phrases into a phrase book.
This plays a role of glossary lookup as opposed to translation memory.

Missing features
================
There are no missing features in our support in the toolkit. The only slight
difference are:
* We don't focus on adding and removing items, just updating and reading
* Comments are not properly escaped on reading, they might be on writing
* An XML header is output on writing while it seems that no files in the wild
contain an XML header.
* The ```` is aimed at users, the toolkits addnote feature focuses
on programmer, translators, etc comments while there is really only one
source of comments in a .qph. This causes duplication on the offline editor.
