Translate Qt App without QtLinguist

[ivanicy]

Hello!!

I am developing an app that I want it to be translated. I was working with QtLinguist but I have a problem with that. The problem is that I want a third person to translate it for me but I don't want that this person see my code.

Is there an option to do this keeping the code safe?

Thank you very much!

but I don't want that this person see my code.

Then just give him the .ts-files.

@ivanicy I think I know where your confusion comes from,

you load the ts files that are still in your project directory. QtLinguist is smart enough to search that directory for source code, to display that in the info window.

If you copy the ts files somewhere else, you won't have that problem.

Also shameless plug, my PhrasebookUtilityTool has in the beta version a save/read/patch with csv feature. Sadly thats still somewhat buggy, and therefore not yet in the repo :D

But coming soon™️, when I find the time the fix the bugs.

Thank you very much guys! I have a last question for you.

If I want to go back to english I have to create a new file or is it enough to remove the translator?
(Obviously, my app is written in english by default)

Thank you very much!

Just remove the translator but I would also provide a english - english translation so e.g. abbreviations used in code can be properly expanded (or e.g. utf-8 stuff which may not be properly encoded on windows etc)
