My application is able to perform run-time translation but I'm facing a weird issue : after switching between various available languages I want to have english (default language) again. I thus created proper files using prefix _untranslated instead of, for instance, _fr or _de. These are empty .qm files. I load remove old translators load new files and install them but the texts everywhere in the app remain in the previous language... as if translators were remanent and continued to work even after having been removed (and deleted...). I'm just wondering if it's a Qt bug. Will I be forced to create an english translation (of english texts... )?
