[Solved] Application menu translation on Mac

jimcad

I follow this instruction: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/mac-differences.html#translating-the-application-menu-and-native-dialogs

I have created *.lproj -folders and put locversion.plist. Also I have changed content of locversion.plist such as described in the documentation. But I can't get this working. Application menu is always in English even language of Mac OS X is different.

Here is the bundle structure:
@
MyApp.app/Contents/
Resources/
en.lproj/
locversion.plist
fi.lproj/
locversion.plist
sv.lproj/
locversion.plist
@

(I have Qt 4.8.3 and Mac OS X 10.8)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I found the solution. I add the following parts to my ts-file:
@<context>
<name>MAC_APPLICATION_MENU</name>
<message>
<source>Services</source>
<translation>Services</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Hide %1</source>
<translation>Hide %1</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Hide Others</source>
<translation>Hide Others</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Show All</source>
<translation>Show All</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Preferences...</source>
<translation>Preferences...</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Quit %1</source>
<translation>Quit %1</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>About %1</source>
<translation>About: %1</translation>
</message>
</context>@

Now I can translate application menu in the same way as the other parts.

I think that context is already defined in SOME of the qt_xx.qm files. So it depends on the language, and the extent to which the community has provided translations into the qt_xx.ts files for the language?

Excuse me. Could I ask a basic question?

How to create *.lproj -folders and put locversion.plist in to my application bundle?
I am very confused. Should I use "add_custom_target(locversion.plist...)" or anything else?

Thanks.
