Use Translation file

[ruben.rodrigues]

Hi all!

I just start reading how to use the translator file and the QTranslator and I need some help to see if what I am doing is any close.

the ts file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE TS>
<TS version="2.0" language="de" sourcelanguage="en">
<context>
<name>QObject</name>
<message>
<source>Username</source>
<translation>Benutzername</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Password</source>
<translation>Passwort</translation>
</message>
</context>
</TS>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE TS>
<TS version="2.0" language="de" sourcelanguage="en">
<context>
<name>QObject</name>
<message>
<source>Username</source>
<translation>Benutzername</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Password</source>
<translation>Passwort</translation>
</message>
</context>
</TS>

Contructor of my class

QString german = "C:/esp/lang/deutsch.ts";	QTranslator_Language.load(german);
QCoreApplication::installTranslator(&_Language);
ui.label->setText("Username");
ui.label_2->setText("Password");

QString german = "C:/esp/lang/deutsch.ts";	QTranslator_Language.load(german);
QCoreApplication::installTranslator(&_Language);
ui.label->setText("Username");
ui.label_2->setText("Password");

I was expecting that the Username would be translated to "Benutzername" and Password to "Passwort".

I also tried _Language.translate function but didn't work.

To use Translator you have to "wrap" visible strings.

QString german = "C:/esp/lang/deutsch.ts";	
QTranslator _Language.load(german);
QCoreApplication::installTranslator(&_Language);
ui.label->setText(tr("Username"));
ui.label_2->setText(tr("Password"));

QString german = "C:/esp/lang/deutsch.ts";	
QTranslator _Language.load(german);
QCoreApplication::installTranslator(&_Language);
ui.label->setText(tr("Username"));
ui.label_2->setText(tr("Password"));

Hi again.

I just noticed that there is something wrong with the load command, as it return false..

I also switch to ubuntu because there is where I fell more comfortable working with qt.

my constructor has this:

QTranslator Lang;
 
if(Lang.load("/esp/Lang/de.ts")){
 
    cout << "Loaded" << endl;
 
    QCoreApplication::installTranslator(&Lang);
 
    cout << QString(tr("Username")).toStdString() << endl;
    cout << QString(tr("Password")).toStdString() << endl;
 
}else cout << "Not Loaded" << endl;

QTranslator Lang;

if(Lang.load("/esp/Lang/de.ts")){

    cout << "Loaded" << endl;

    QCoreApplication::installTranslator(&Lang);

    cout << QString(tr("Username")).toStdString() << endl;
    cout << QString(tr("Password")).toStdString() << endl;

}else cout << "Not Loaded" << endl;

I also tried to load with the line:

Lang.load("de","/esp/Lang","ts");
Lang.load("de","/esp/Lang",".","ts");
Lang.load("de","/esp/Lang","","ts");

my .pro file has the line:

TRANSLATIONS = /esp/Lang/de.ts

and my ts file was done with the linguist tool and is a copy of the skype ts file (see attachment)

thanks!
