Qt Designer and id based translation

[Gery]

Thanks, I dont need source, so discarded comments are fine. Second thing is that lupdate still takes strings from ui file and not from generated header.

What I want to achieve is .ts file for all translatable strings like this:

<context>
    <message id="tr_number__hint">
        <source></source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message id="tr_gsm__hint">
        <source></source>
        <translation>Translation</translation>
    </message>
</context>

<context>
    <message id="tr_number__hint">
        <source></source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message id="tr_gsm__hint">
        <source></source>
        <translation>Translation</translation>
    </message>
</context>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

indtead of:

<context>
    <name>core::InitialDialog</name>
    <message>
        <source>tr_number__hint</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>tr_gsm__hint</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
</context>

<context>
    <name>core::InitialDialog</name>
    <message>
        <source>tr_number__hint</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>tr_gsm__hint</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
</context>

Hmm.

How about this:

- you move everything that you have in your .pro file other than FORMS to a .pri file
- you include that .pri file in your .pro
- you create a second .pro that includes the .pri and instead of FORMS adds the generated ui_*.h to SOURCES and uses that for lupdate's run

Thank you, it works, but I still have a problem. When using uic with -tr qtTrid, it generates function like

qtTrId("tr_string", 0)

qtTrId("tr_string", 0)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

That second parameter is wrong. I've solved that by downloading uic source and modifying it. Problem is, that I dont know how to make qmake use my uic.exe instead of the original one, which I dont want to replace. I've tried QMAKE_UIC but it does nothing.

Interesting, I would have also expected that QMAKE_UIC would be the means to that.

Maybe something like

load(uic)
uic.commands = .....

load(uic)
uic.commands = .....

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or creating a new uic command/target, like the new_moc example here http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qma...ml#customizing
