QT Translate on Android

kolegs

Hi,

I am using QTranslate in my Android app and it works perfectly. Do you load and install translation before you load your view?
In my QML app I needed to load translation before loading main.qml file.

BTW its Qt not QT(QuickTime)

Thank you for rapid answer!

I load the translation (from a resource file) the first thing in my main C++ app (before loading main.qml)

So are you sure the file exists(the one with translation)? Can you check it @QFile::exists()@

Are you installing translator properly?
@QLocale::setDefault(QLocale::English);
qtTranslator.load(":/tr/translations_en.qm");
app.installTranslator(&qtTranslator);@

Hi,

I currently don't use Qlocale::setDefault() but still the translation works for Mac, Windows and IOS

can you check if the file with translations exists? using QFile::exists()?

digiloo

Absolutely. I do it later tonight. But it exist on Mac, Windows and IOS!

Thanks

Meanwhile ...

My code in main looks like this;

QTranslator translator;
if(translator.load(":/xxx.qm") != 1) { ...}

And my resource file like this:

/Hakan

digiloo

QFile.exists() returns OK! And I think that translator.load() returns error if the given file/resource don't exist

did you check if the language detection works on android?
e.g. with
@QLocale::system().name()@
if not your have to set it manually like kolegs said, also you should try and set the file manually and see if that works on android first.

digiloo

Yes the language detection works fine also on andriod

Which Qt version do you use? There seems a buf in Qt 5.1 that may affect you (prevents to find the correct locale), see QTBUG-31651; referenced in https://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/07/23/anatomy-of-a-qt-5-for-android-application/#comment-1103021
