Translating a QStringList

[^NyAw^]

Hi,
Is there anyway to transalte the contents of a QStringList automatically without have to transtale every QString item?

I have a QStringList with a number of QStrings that have to be translated (I have the translator installed and the texts are translated). I'm using the "QTableWidget::setHorizontalHeaderLabels ( const QStringList & labels )" method. Is there a way to to this without having to get all the QStrings, transale them an put them into another QStringList ?

Thanks,

No, there isn't. You can only use a trick such as this:

QString str=tr("name,address,telephone number");
QStringList slist = str.split(",");

QString str=tr("name,address,telephone number");
QStringList slist = str.split(",");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Hi,
mmm, I think that you don't have understood me.

In my QStringList there are i.e. 4 QStrings: "Area", "Center X", "Center Y", "Radius".
I insert this QStringList as Horitzontal Header of a QTableWidget with the method "setHorizontalHeaderLabels" that takes a QStringList. I would to have the 4 items translated into the QStringList without having to do a bucle. The solution is easy:

for (int i=0; i<qlist.count(); i++)
{
  qtranslatedlist.insert(i,tr(qlist[i]));    //Or something like this
}

for (int i=0; i<qlist.count(); i++)
{
  qtranslatedlist.insert(i,tr(qlist[i]));    //Or something like this
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So, I would know if there is a method to translate all the QStrings with only one function.

Yes, I have

If you require those strings to be separate, then no. But if it's not that necessary (and I think it's not), then you can use the method I suggested - put all labels into a single string, translate the string (in one go) and then split it into a string list.

Yes, there is a way --- write such function yourself:

QStringList Utils::tr( const QStringList & list )
{
   QStringList result;
   foreach( const QString & str, list ) {
      result << QObject::tr( str );
   }
   return result;
}

QStringList Utils::tr( const QStringList & list )
{
   QStringList result;
   foreach( const QString & str, list ) {
      result << QObject::tr( str );
   }
   return result;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Other solution is to translate those strings before you add them to that list.
