Qt linguist not get text from c++ code.

[S_max07]

Hi all,
How I can get text in Qt linguist from c++ model field in qml, can I do something like qsTr(model.name);?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Why not just translate that in the model code ?

I need to add this variable in c++ model, and translate with Qt linguist with *.ts files, how I can add to .ts file my variable from C++ model? It's should be something like this:
switch (role) {
case TextRole:
return tr(m_data.at(index.row()));

after this we can lupdate all *.ts files, and it added new field from this function?

[SGaist]

How are you filling m_data ?

Actually, I have some .xml file with some name and phrase which I should to translate I getting this string phrase to some struct and use it in class with qmlRegisterType() going to qml, and have some getter with Q_PROPERTY(QString name READ name CONSTANT) and call it in qml text: name_of_register_type.name
What I should to add to get this name in my generic .ts file for Qt Linguist?

[SGaist]

That's not the role of Linguist.

Is that XML file something you change often ?

[S_max07]

I don't change often this file it's something like config file with names and phrase for application.

[SGaist]

In that case you should either translate this XML file directly and load the appropriate one when switching your application language or generate a C++ file from it and then use Qt Linguist on that one.

Hi!

@S_max07 You might wrap a text in XML file with syntax recognized by lupdate, i.e.:

•<?xml version="1.0">
<someKey>translate("someContext",  "text to translate")</someKey>

when that key is handled by C++, trim it and then translate:

QXmlStreamReader xml;
if (xml.name() == QLatin1String("someKey"))
      auto key = QApplication::translate("someContext",  xml.readElementText()
                                    .replace(QLatin1String("translate(\"someContext\", \""), QString())
                                    .replace(QLatin1String("\")"), QString()).toLocal8Bit());

and invoke lupdate which also looks up for *.xml extensions:

lupdate -extensions cpp,h,qml,xml -recursive src_dir xml_dir -ts some_file.ts
