Translation string - new line character

[Sandhiya]

@dheerendra how will i add the new line character in the source code directly if it is resource string ID?

[dheerendra]

where are you strings ? Are they in some file ? You can directly do there. How are you doing the translations ? Using linguist ?

[Sandhiya]

@dheerendra strings are nothing but the <translation> ryt? They are not there in some other file. Not using linguist for editing the .ts file

Could you please show some source code snippet about how you're using the strings in your Qt application?

[Sandhiya]

@Pablo-J.-Rogina
QML file:
Label{
text:qsTrId("text_id")
}

.ts file:
<message id = "tex_id">
<location filename="fileLocation"/>
<translation>Please file \n the text field</translation>
</message>

This is the snippet of how I am using the strings

@Sandhiya are you sure you created .qm files with

lupdate -idbased your_project.pro

This snippet is working fine

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTrId("title_id")

    Label {
        text: qsTrId("text_id")
    }
}

when edited with Linguist, I just pressed Enter when I wanted the line break

showing in app great:

@Pablo-J.-Rogina Yeah ..it's working fine now. I actually missed a trick there. Thanks a lot for your help.

@dheerendra Thanks for your help..

[dheerendra]

This is what we were asking you. It is as simple as hitting the enter button in source text when we require new line. Now issue is resolved move the case to solved state.

@Pablo-J.-Rogina Also i have same type issue which I fixed on one way to after next line character put on next line like below.
<message>
<translation>Please file
the text field</translation>
</message>

Could you please explain how is it working with your solutions "lupdate -idbased your_project.pro"

[Pablo J. Rogina]

@Dhiru I don't understand your question in full, but the -idbased parameter is used when the original string i.e. what's enclosed in tr() method is a text id, not the full text
