I added them to the qrc-file because i want to load the translations from resource: app-de_DE.qm app-en_US.qm They are are generated from *.ts files. In *.pro i added CONFIG += lrelease TRANSLATIONS = app-de_DE.ts \ app-en_US.ts The problem is when i build the app it breaks at compiling the qrc-file: make: *** No rule to make target '../app/app-de_DE.qm', needed by 'qrc_app.cpp'. Stop. I think that the lrelease step comes too late. So the question is how to overcome this ? For example executing lrelease earlier - maybe at first - at make run. How i have to modify the *.pro file ? kind regards Petric I always thought that 'lupdate' and 'lrelease' needed to run as external applications? Adding it to the CONFIG variable will most likely not do anything. At the very least you will need to copy the *.qm files from their default location to the resource "qrc" folder (or a subfolder of that) and add them at least once to the resource file, otherwise the resource compiler will not find them. If the translation files are not too big and hardly ever change, you can do it this way. However, once you start supporting more than one or two languages it becomes very difficult to manage if they are embedded into the application. Personally, I prefer to load the translations at runtime from the application folder and use a very small subset for errors that might occur at startup -- for example, not being able to find the *.qm file at runtime... :) Using Qt Creator you can add 'lrelease' as a custom build step (click on "Project" in the left panel, then "Build & Run" to access this option.) You can move it up or down depending on whether it should run before or after the actual build. ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
Re: [Interest] L Word

Re: [Interest] Embedding language translation as resource
You need to load the ".qm" file which is the binary generated by running
lrelease, not the ".ts" file.
In addition to your "hello_la.qm" file, you might want to load Qt's
"qtbase_la.qm" file (if there is one) which contains translations for
most of the built-in GUI elements.

Re: [Interest] QStringBuilder buffer overflow with string litteral?
Just an idea, not having to do with QStringBuilder ... why not do
something like this?
QString fields = columns.join(", ");
if (fields.isEmpty()) fields = "*";
// ...
AFAIK it is only necessary to enclose field names in quotes if the name
is an SQL keyword. If you still need to quote them, I would do it this way:
QString fields = columns.join("\",\"");
if (fields.isEmpty()) fields = "*";
else {
fields.prepend("\"").append("\"");
}
// ...

I just want to build a comma separated list of the items in 'columns',
surrounded by quotes.
But instead of giving "A", "B", "C", this gives UNIQUE (%1)"A"UNIQUE
(%1)"B"UNIQUE (%1)"C"
That UNIQUE (%1) is only found in another cpp file of the same DLL
project, in strings ", UNIQUE (%1)" passed to QString constructors. So
not only is it using the wrong string litteral, it does not read it
from the string start.
Passing one/both of the operands of the ternary operator as QStrings
makes the problem disappear.
Are there things i should be aware of when using QStringBuilder, such
as 'do not put expressions on operators, because of macros that will
evaluate them multiple times', or something like that?
String pooling (/GF of visual studio) is not used, if that matters

I have a bunch of user-facing strings in a JSON file that will eventually need to be translated, and there doesn't seem to be any solution for this. Take a look at Translation Toolkit (it's an open source project, I believe written in Python): http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/index.html They have conversion tools for many popular formats and languages including JSON. Also, the Qt .ts file format seems to be supported (click on the link to the "Supported formats" page).

What format do you use to store the documentation? Just to be clear, is SQLite part of the normal Qt compile or do I need to download SQLite and compile that? I am really new to this part of Qt so be kind. ;-) I have only used the source code build of Qt, but there is always some slightly older version of SQLite included in the source. If SQLite is available on your client platform as a shared library, you might need to be careful with the Qt build options. For example, this is almost always true on Mac platforms. On Windows and Linux, not necessarily so. Currently we write the raw documentation in Markdown and have DOxygen convert it to HTML that is included with the app. We have a single button that the user clicks and then we use QDesktop to launch their web browser pointing to the main documentation page. Look at the QAssistant interface. This is very good at giving your application the required help functionality if your docs are already in HTML format. ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
