The 'qml' render tool does not work with translations

supa5000

Dear all,

i have been using the "qml" (as in 6.2.4/gcc_64/bin/qml) tool to render qml-scenes. It works nicely. But now we are using translations - with ID based solution. The C++ version works fine, and everything is good in that side, but i am unable to get the qml tool to work with the translations.

The example is like this:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Layouts
import QtQuick.Controls

ApplicationWindow {
    id: root
    visible: true
    Text { 
        color:"black"
        //% "Hello world!"
        text:  qsTrId("text-id-main-hello");
    }
}

that is then produced translation file

update debug/main.qml -ts debug/translations_en.ts

and then i used 6.2.4/gcc_64/bin/linguist to translate and 'release' the file to produce translations_en.qm (qml started with --translation debug/translations_en.ts said loading failed)

Now starting the qml then with:

 % qml --verbose --translation debug/translations_en.qm debug/main.qml 
qml: Loaded translation file debug/translations_en.qm
qml: Qt 6.2.4 (x86_64-little_endian-lp64 shared (dynamic) release build; by GCC 10.3.1 20210422 (Red Hat 10.3.1-1))
qml: Using built-in configuration: default.qml
qml: loading file:///XXXX/qml-translation-not-ok/debug/main.qml

But the view does not keep the translations (screenshot). Looking at the source/output it looks to me that the loading was ok.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?
