How to change QString(x***....) to Chinese ?

sonichy

foreach (const QStorageInfo &storage, QStorageInfo::mountedVolumes()) {
    QString name = storage.name();
    // storage.fileSystemType() = "vfat"; name is Chinese;
    // name = "\xc0\xcfë\xcc\xd2U\xc5\xcc";
}

think this could help you: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtlinguist-hellotr-example.html and this https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/i18n-source-translation.html

you will need to load your desired locale and use tr() for all your translated strings.

Hope it helps.

You should know what text codec is it, then use QTextCodec functions to convert (in this case I think it is GBK).
Or you can simply try QString::fromLocal8Bit if the system locale codec is GBK.
But why there is a ë in a Chinese string? I'm not sure it can be displayed.

@Bonnie said in How to change QString(x***....) to Chinese ?:

QString::fromLocal8Bit

QString name = QString::fromLocal8Bit(storage.name());

no matching function for call to ‘QString::fromLocal8Bit(QString)’

@sonichy
yes, the conversion should be from a byte array or char*.
If you test with

QString::fromLocal8Bit("\xc0\xcfë\xcc\xd2U\xc5\xcc")

with GBK as the system locale, you'll succesfully get a Chinese string except that "ë".
But I'm not sure what encoding is your QString using.
Where do you get that output of "\xc0\xcfë\xcc\xd2U\xc5\xcc"?
From qDebug() or other?
And what is the size of this QString? 8 or 5?
Also the result from QStorageInfo::name() should usually already be unicode and don't need to be converted.
What's the output of qDebug() << storage.name() then?
