You're right, kind of confusing. This is how I understood how it works: When using QCoreApplication::translate() you have to provide the context yourself. When using QObject::tr(), the context is generated automatically by Qt. From the documentation of Qt: "All QObject subclasses using the Q_OBJECT macro automatically have a reimplementation of this function with the subclass name as context." Therefore I have to correct my earlier explanation a little bit: Inheriting from QObject is not sufficient, you must also supply the Q_OBJECT macro. When the macro is used in a class, Qt's moc (Meta-Object Compiler) generates more information for the class - including the translation-context. You can find more information about the meta-object system under http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/metaobjects.html. I hope this didn't create more confusion...
