Hi Matteo The pieces to put together a functional translation are:
* Use a tr() function to translate strings in your app and "mark" them as translatable for lupdate * Let lupdate find the strings http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/linguist-manager.html#lupdate * Translate the strings (.ts files) * Let lrelease compile the translation file http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/linguist-manager.html#lrelease * Load the compiled translation file in your app with a QTranslator http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qtranslator.html#details * tr() will now return translated strings instead of the original (menu, label, whatever...) Some of these jobs can be done by a Makefile or by qmake (.pro) but in the background, the above steps are what actually happen I hope this helps, Matthias On 03/22/2016 10:27 AM, matteo wrote: > Hi Richard (and all), > I'm still fighting with the menu translation of the plugin.. > > I read the Qt Documentation and other related questions in forums, but > I'm still struggling. > > It seems that, as you said, the tr function should do the magic, but it > won't.. > > I found out that with the main menu the method > QCoreApplication.translate is used while with the submenus nothing is > used.. for example: > > > #main menu > self.menu.ModelSetUp_menu = > QMenu(QCoreApplication.translate("my_plugin", "Model Setup")) > > #submenu of menu "model Setup" > self.actionProgramLocations = QAction( "&Program &Locations", > self.iface.mainWindow()) > > > > I tried to add the tr function in both, like > > self.menu.ModelSetUp_menu = QMenu(self.tr("my_plugin", "Model Setup")) > > #submenu of menu "model Setup" > self.actionProgramLocations = QAction( self.tr("&Program &Locations"), > self.iface.mainWindow()) > > > and then updated pro file.. but in the final ts, these strings are not > taken into account.. > > > I also tried to find other plugins that maybe have implemented this menu > translation function, but I did not find anything (just the UIs and > their strings translated, but not the menus)... > > Somebody has an idea on how to implement that? > > Thanks for the help > > Cheers > > Matteo > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer -- Matthias Kuhn OPENGIS.ch - https://www.opengis.ch Spatial • (Q)GIS • PostGIS • Open Source _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
