Hi.
The qt-tools package is used to create the binary translations files
that are used by the monero-wallet-cli program, which seems to be
a useful thing.
What kind of issue is the dependency on qt-tools causing for you?
To disable translations, a variant of the monero package like the
following could work (not tested, I'm writing this example on the fly):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public monero-without-translations
(inherit monero)
(name monero-without-translations)
(native-inputs (package-native-inputs monero)
(delete "qttools-5")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
