label Text is not changing using Qt Linguist

[wysota]

The application doesn't eem... seem to work. It doesn't even compile out of the box. Did you test it? If I choose anything from the menu, all texts are removed.

Edit: Ok, I managed to get it to work (I mean display text), but I don't see any bold text you mentioned.

Edit2: Oh, and you really waste a lot of effort... You are translating everything manually and then install the translator which make the application translate itself on its own. So there is a high chance your translations are simply overwritten by the onces Qt does. I suggest you read the chapter about i18n again...

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

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.

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:

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