Loading qm file from ressources fails

[sandro4912]

I try to load a qm file from the ressource system but it fails.

The code:

LanguageSelector::LanguageSelector(QObject *parent)
    : QObject{parent}, mTranslator{new QTranslator{this}}
{
    loadEnglish();
}

void LanguageSelector::loadEnglish()
{
    QFile file(":/translations/quiz.en.qm");
    if (!file.open(stdout, QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
        qDebug() << "Can't find it!";
    }

    if (!mTranslator->load(QLocale(QLocale::English), QLatin1String("quiz.en"),
                           QLatin1String(":/translations"))) {
        qDebug() << "load english failed";
    }
}

Strangely I don't get an error on the QFile check as expected but loading the file with QTranslator fails. What could be the Issue?

The file with the code is in the folder:

/src

The ressource file for the languages is directlyy in root:

translations.qrc

The translations file:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>translations/quiz.de.qm</file>
        <file>translations/quiz.en.qm</file>
        <file>translations/quiz.es.qm</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

@sandro4912 said in Loading qm file from ressources fails:

mTranslator->load(QLocale(QLocale::English), QLatin1String("quiz.en"), QLatin1String(":/translations"))) {

you may want to check the documentation of QTranslator::load() method

I checked it but I could not find an issue

I missed stating the separator in the method. Like this it works:

void LanguageSelector::loadLanguage(const QLocale::Language &newLanguage)
{
    if (!mTranslator->load(QLocale(newLanguage), QLatin1String("quiz"),
                           QLatin1String("."),
                           QLatin1String(":/translations"))) {
        auto metaEnum = QMetaEnum::fromType<QLocale::Language>();
        qDebug() << tr("load language %1 failed")
                        .arg(metaEnum.valueToKey(newLanguage));
    }
    else {
        qDebug() << mTranslator->filePath();
    }
}
