is importing of .po files with contexts supported ?

[phenoboy]

It looks like Qt Linquist does not support importing .po files with contexts. Can someone confirm this ?

I have .po files with contexts. And when loading that file in Qt Linquist it shows this.

Have you tried lconvert as decribed here? http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-Localization
Or maybe the po2ts tools from http://docs.translatehouse.org/proje...t/installation

Thanks, I downloaded official qt localization files (.ts) and converted it into .po file. Some observations:

It looks like two things are needed in the .po file for Qt Linquist to understand them:

1) "X-Qt-Contexts: true\n"

2) '|' character in context name. e.g. : msgctxt "short|"

Next test is to create a .qm file and load actua translation file in the program.

Is is possible programmatically to read a .po or .ts file and generate .qm files ? Basically I'm looking for a Qt class that might know how to do that. That must be already present in Qt Linquist application itself but do such class(es) exists within Qt classes that you could include in your Qt project ?

Well, obvious, lrelease does that. And since it is a program, it is doing that process programmatically.

Basically I'm looking for a Qt class that might know how to do that.

Then a rather straight forward approach would be to check the program already known to contain that, no?

Thanks, I'll check Qt Linquist source code but just using lrelease.exe might be enough.
