Do you mean to create .ts and .qm files?

Here's an example of how to do it with cmake-gui.

# just insert the languages you want to support in this list
 SET(LANGUAGES fr_FR)

 SET(LANGUAGE_TS_FILES)
 FOREACH(LANGUAGE ${LANGUAGES})
   SET(TS_FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake_${LANGUAGE}.ts")
   SET(LANGUAGE_TS_FILES ${LANGUAGE_TS_FILES} ${TS_FILE})
   SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(${TS_FILE} PROPERTIES OUTPUT_LOCATION
     "${CMake_BINARY_DIR}${CMAKE_DATA_DIR}/i18n")
 ENDFOREACH(LANGUAGE ${LANGUAGES})
 IF(LANGUAGE_TS_FILES)
   QT4_CREATE_TRANSLATION(qm_files ${SRCS} ${LANGUAGE_TS_FILES})
 ENDIF(LANGUAGE_TS_FILES)

 ADD_EXECUTABLE(cmake-gui WIN32 MACOSX_BUNDLE ${SRCS} ${qm_files})

The .ts files are updated in the source directory, so the translations can be 
saved.  Then the person translating can run the Qt linguist on those .ts files.

But there is also the QT4_ADD_TRANSLATION to do the .qm files for you if you 
want to do the .ts files manually near release time.
