Empty ts file after lupdate

Sikarjan

Hi!

This issue was posted two years ago but the work around suggested here is not working for me. I am working on a QtQuick 2.5 application and I have marked all my strings with qsTr() in my qml files and I have TRANSLATION tag in my pro file but every time I run lupdate from tools I get this:

"Info: creating stash file /Users/user/myProgramm/.qmake.stash
Updating 'languages/de.ts'...
Found 0 source text(s) (0 new and 0 already existing)"

Am I doing something wrong or is this another bug?

Hi,

Did you already follow the QtQuick Internationalization documentation ?

Sikarjan

Yes, I did. I already found that "hack" but it does not change anything. So are you telling me that basically it should work that I am doing something wrong?

SGaist

Just tested it with a dummy program and the technique described in the documentation works fine.

Can you show your .pro file ?

Sikarjan

Stupid me, I had a \ instead of a / in my path...

Thanks for the help!

SGaist

No need for \ in paths with Qt ;)

Glad you found out and thanks for sharing !

Since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tool" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

Hi,
Myself working on languages for my app.Please provide inputs if u know.I have all qm files generated using lrelease , but i do not understand how i can i load language change dynamically.
As per my understanding, load is not sufficient and it needs to be installed to effect the changes.

QTranslator trans;
trans.load("enh_ts")
qApp.installTranslator(&trans);

The above code works if i put in main.cpp, but i need to change the language dynamically.so how can i refer from particular file?

Thanks

I do not know how good your Spanish is but this video helped me a lot. The guy is prompting a dialog on start up to select a language. My be you can work from there.

And there's also the internationalization documentation that has a chapter about it here.

As for doing if from within your application, it's essentially a question of providing a mean for your users to select the right file through for example a combo box.
