You can only translate content known at compile time.

Any dynamism is basically matching the runtime string to one of the static 
strings and then applying the translation of that static strings.

QT_TR_NOOP() and QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP() is what you're looking for.

Re: [Interest] tr() a string while ignoring context?

[Vadim Peretokin]

I tried QObject::tr but I'm still having difficulty. I'd like to translate
dynamic input that's not known as compile-time.

Basically, I'd like to expose the wealth of translations already available
for my application to my scripting layer, and as you can see that means the
context needs to be stripped out - so given any input string, return the
first known translation, irregardless of the context. Is this feasible and
am I just misunderstanding you?

Re: [Interest] tr() a string while ignoring context?

[Andy]

Aside from QObject::tr() which works without a context string, I think
QT_TR_NOOP() is the only other one without a context.


https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/i18n-source-translation.html#using-qt-tr-noop-and-qt-translate-noop-in-c

Note that QObject::tr can be used outside the class. See
some_global_function example here:


https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/i18n-source-translation.html#using-qcoreapplication-translate

Also of interest might be "Translating Non-Qt Classes":

[Interest] tr() a string while ignoring context?

[Vadim Peretokin]

I'd like to translate a string while ignoring the context of it, but
QCoreApplication::translate("", sourceText.toUtf8().constData()) isn't
cutting it. Any ideas on what would work?
