removeTranslator fails?

Hi,
Might be a silly question but are you sure your translations are loaded successfully as well ?

@SGaist Yes, I implemented the following codes to verify:
successLoad = mTranslator.load("lang_de.qm", mLangDir); successInstall = qApp->installTranslator(&mTranslator); qInfo() << "Load trans file successful?" << successLoad; qInfo() << "Trans install successful?" << successInstall;They always printed out true.
Basically, every time when a qm file is loaded initially, everything is fine. Butwhen I try to switch to another qm file,
removeTranslatorseems failed, and the corresponding texts don't display properly -
Is mTranslator modified at some point in your application ?
Where is it located ? -
You call removeTranslator() twice so the second one will fail. Please check the return value of the first one.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thank you, I resolved this problem myself

Haaaaa ! I somehow missed that you were doing that in a QML app...
Glad you found out and thanks for sharing !

Hi, I am implementing switching multiple translation files (.qm files), I would like to display text contents in qml files in different languages, qstrid-based. I know that before loading a new translation file I should remove the previous translator, so I implemented some codes like:
if( ! mTranslator.isEmpty() ) { qApp->removeTranslator(&mTranslator); qInfo() << "Translator is now empty?" << mTranslator.isEmpty(); qInfo() << "Translator removal is successful?" << qApp->removeTranslator(&mTranslator); } mTranslator.load("lang_de.qm", mLangDir); qApp->installTranslator(&mTranslator);mTranslator is declared as
QTranslator mTranslator;However,
removeTranslatoralways returned false, does that mean the removal failed?
Also, after switching different files, translated contents didn't display properly. Did the failure of removal cause this issue? Any ideas on this issue? Thank you very muchUpdate:
I resolved the problem my self, the trick part is I should add a Q_PROPERTY emtyString, this is to ensure when the language changes, there's a signal from C++ side to notify the QML to refresh the display contents.

removeTranslatorstill returns false, but this doesn't affect the translation, I am a bit confusedHowever,
