I too found that hack online, and it seems to work okay. I can at least start entering content into a newly installed WP3 system.
But the article-list looks horrible. Since this is a paying customer I will donate a percentage for qTranslate ... it really is the most powerful translation plugin out there!
I quess Qian Qin has a lot of work to do, since WP3 now allows for custom post types ... how in the hell does he want to make all those user-creatable fields translateable?
