label Text is not changing using Qt Linguist

[thomasjoy]

any how but its working properly and fine except
text even i had tried the simple example just for conversion of text
even that is translating the language but the text which is in bold comes out in regular font
rather than returns in bold font style...

if you know then just tell me how to translate bold label's text to bold not to regular...

and i already had read it from all examples of qt i had concludede that it will be done by only this way if you know the another way then tell with a simple example code....

[wysota]

Use "<b>" tags, just like the source for the translation does. You are really doing something strange. Did you use lupdate to create a translation file or did you create/modify it by hand?

[thomasjoy]

thanks for your reply
but i think you are not getting somthing even i had send you the whole example code for it
bold text is entered by designer in dialog folder contained volumeActionDialog
and it contained 3 buttons and 3 label's
label's text i had entered by designer so lupdate itself entered its entry in .ts file and i ll just enter the translated text for label in the translation tags in .ts file

the whole label's text is translated even bold text is translated but it comes out as font type normal but it should comes out as font type bold

how it is possible ???
if you want to see the .ts file then see in translation folder and with name UnicodeTest_en.ts and UnicodeTest_fr.ts

Use "<b>" tags, just like the source for the translation does.

as you said i had used it but still its not gives result to bold

[wysota]

I have opened your ts files in Linguist and I don't see any bolded texts in translations. Moreover Linguist marks some of the translations as incorrect and I can't blaim it... You can't just translate letters and numbers. If the source text contains html tags (like '<span style="font-weight: 600;">') you have to include them in the translation. Did you use Linguist to do the translation? If you press CTRL+B (it might be Special+B on Mac) the tool will copy the source text to the translation so that you can just replace the characters without touching rich text tags.

By the way - your dialog doesn't have a layout. Everything will break if you start resizing the window.

[thomasjoy]

but this whole source tags text comes in .ts file from VolumeActionDialog.ui of dialog folder it is not manually added i had just added it's translation tags text

so according to you what i have to do
can you please tell it in a code example

Did you use lupdate to create a translation file or did you create/modify it by hand?

lupdate is used for first to create ts file and after adding translation tags again i do lupdate to modify it....

when i use <b></b> and then i do lupdate then these tags are removed from ts file

and what about this

By the way - your dialog doesn't have a layout. Everything will break if you start resizing the window.

[wysota]

can you please tell it in a code example

Example attached.

and what about this

What about it? Open the volume dialog (for example in Designer) and resize it, you'll see.

[thomasjoy]

what is in your attachment it is downloading application.php
like this

not your's give tsexample.tar.gz

how to access it....???

[wysota]

You must have downloaded it incorrectly. Your browser might be setup in a wrong way. Either try again or try another browser.

[thomasjoy]

i had tried it in safari ,mozilla ,internet explorer ..
and what else i have to try to download it?????

if u can directly paste it in mail then mail will not shown to me

let me make it easy you just tell me why its not picking font-style:bold as the label's text in VolumeActionDialog are in bold
even if you still not understand it
then make a ui with label having text in bold which is enter by designer only.
then translate it and then tell me how it should be done....

[thomasjoy]

hi wysota

please write your's example code on reply page still i didn't get the another solution to bold show bold line to bold main work depends on this highlighting the words in bold so please do tell me if you know how to do..
as you had give me the example code in zip but its not downloading the exact ...it is downloading something else...

is there any other way if you know then also do tell....

[wysota]

The code contains such files as the Designer user interface file and Qt translation files. The code is quite long because of that (xml, you know...). I'd like to avoid pasting it here. I will temporarily place the archive under a following link:

http://www.wysota.eu.org/old/x/tsexample.tar.gz

I suggest you fix the problem with your browsers or you won't be able to download any attachment on this forum.

[thomasjoy]

thanks for yours support
can you tell me which qt version you are using
i am using QT4.1
or is it affect to linguist??

and had you entered the text by designer???

are you getting difference from ur's and mine .ts file
see attached ts file of mine

[wysota]

can you tell me which qt version you are using
i am using QT4.1

Currently I'm using 4.3.0, but the behaviour of translation tools is the same since the very beginning of Qt4 (with one little exception).

or is it affect to linguist??

No, it shouldn't affect linguist.

and had you entered the text by designer???

Yes, I have. Source in Designer and translation in Linguist.

are you getting difference from ur's and mine .ts file
see attached ts file of mine

From the very beginning I'm telling you your translation is incorrect. You are not using bold text in it. Take a look at the screenshot. Do you see that the source and translation are very different? The source contains formatting and the translation doesn't. That's why formatting is lost.

[thomasjoy]

thanks wysota you are really a guru
my major problem to bold the text is solved but
one problem is still remaining as in my example i have 2 languages
english and french
as French translation in French is Frençais
but my ts file made it Frenais here the special character ç is not showing why so its happening ???what is the reason??do tell me ...
as one of the qt manual example is working on my system very well....that is i18n

thanks in advance

[wysota]

Either the font you use doesn't have the glyph or the ts file is saved with a wrong encoding (should be UTF-8 I think). Did you use Linguist to create the translation?

[thomasjoy]

Either the font you use doesn't have the glyph

how it can be beacuse one of qt manual examples are running well so i beleive there is not problem with fonts...

r the ts file is saved with a wrong encoding (should be UTF-8 I think).

how it can be done in ts file
as i add entered the line in ts file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
but when again i do it lupdate to modify the file then it automatically deleted in ts file

Did you use Linguist to create the translation?

yes i am using linguist
i am using lupdate for.ts file and lrelease for .qm files

so tell me how it can be done????

[wysota]

how it can be done in ts file
as i add entered the line in ts file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This doesn't matter. It's just text. You might be saving the file using a completely different encoding regardless of what you put into the header.

but when again i do it lupdate to modify the file then it automatically deleted in ts file

I didn't understand this one... What deleted what?

yes i am using linguist
i am using lupdate for.ts file and lrelease for .qm files

If you're not touching the files manually then you shouldn't have any problems. Could you post such example ts/qm files that don't work for you (make it simple please - a single message containing a single character that doesn't work)?

[thomasjoy]

Could you post such example ts/qm files that don't work for you (make it simple please - a single message containing a single character that doesn't work)?

see the attachment and see the translation tag for French
showing Frenais rather tahn Frençais

[wysota]

The ts file contains the string 'franais' (and why is the message marked as unfinished? You should have confirmed the translation...).

<message>
  <source>French</source>
  <translation type="unfinished">Franais</translation>
</message>

<message>
  <source>French</source>
  <translation type="unfinished">Franais</translation>
</message>

Are you really using Linguist to provide the translation? Maybe you should consider upgrading your Qt installation then...

Here is how it should look like...

[thomasjoy]

as i had given you my ts and qm
you just use it in qt4.1
may be it affects...
see what i am doing

qmake -project
adding ts file in .pro with TRANSLATIONS+=

lupdate unicodetest.pro (create unicodetest_en.ts and unicodetest_fr.ts)

(and why is the message marked as unfinished?

its automatically comes with lupdate

then i manully add translation of French in translation tag (Frençais)

then lupdate unicodetest.pro (when i open and see the ts file it shows Frenais)

lrelease unicodetest.pro

qmake &&make


all these commands i am running

now do tell what to do????
