Only four or five contexts (37 short translations) are missing in the .ts file: - QLineEdit
- QPlatformTheme
- QMessageBox
- QWidgetTextControl
- and optionally QUnicodeControlCharacterMenu (11 short translations)
Including these 37/48 short translations to base.ts makes Sigil's translation from Qt independent.

In short (unless Kevin convinces me otherwise): no.
Generating Sigil's base.ts file is an automated process. We generate the .ts files, upload to Transifex, wait for translation, download and ultimately ... automatically compile to the various .qm files. Other than running the generation command, translation is basically a hands-off process for us. And I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm sorry, but I'm not really amenable to having to manually diddle (or remember to run an extra process on) base.ts after it's generated to insert a list of non-Sigil strings (a list that will likely need to be curated over time) before each Sigil release. Sigil translates Sigil, Qt translates Qt.
