Hi,

You could try:

#define ITEM QT_TR_NOOP("textToTranslate")

and then tr(ITEM) but in general using such defines in C++ is not a very good approach.

Much cleaner solution is:

const char * const ITEM = QT_TR_NOOP("textToTranslate");
 
 
sth->setText(tr(ITEM));

const char * const ITEM = QT_TR_NOOP("textToTranslate");


sth->setText(tr(ITEM));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and second, i have in file some text, which is loaded into QDraw.

What is QDraw?

how can i transtale this text. text for translating is still same.

You'd need to manually teach your message catalog about the string to be translated. It's better to avoid such solutions. What do you need it for?

A possible solution could be to reimplement QTranslator::translate().

thank you for reply.

i am try
#define ITEM QT_TR_NOOP("textToTranslate")

and then tr(ITEM)

but doesnt work. textToTranslate missing in ts file.


What is QDraw?
sorry i mean in painter drawText

i have one application which create xml file and text. this text is for show in second application

So use the other possibility I gave you.

[stevocz]

second possibility doesnt work too. after lupdate, textToTranslate missing in ts file.

[wysota]

second possibility doesnt work too.

Then it means you are doing something wrong, it should work just fine.

maybe i'm missing something here, but isn't it SUPPOSED to not be able to translate "textToTranslate" ? Without spaces its not really a word.

[stevocz]

textToTranslat is only example. i have text with spaces and text with only one word.


something is wrong, but i don't know what, because i can't transtale this:

ui->buttonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Ok)->setText(tr("Ok"));
ui->buttonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Cancel)->setText(tr("Cancel"));
application after start crash

but other things work ok.

[wysota]

application after start crash

You probably get a null pointer from button().

[stevocz]

i am stupid i call Ok button but i have Save button.


but #define or const char * const ITEM still not work

[wysota]

but #define od const char * const ITEM still not work

Please post a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem. Make sure you have the file containing the QT_TR_NOOP macro explicitly added to your project file, otherwise lupdate won't scan it.
