    I want to implement Dynamic Language Translation in my application ,I implement the UI without qt Designer ,so I overload the changeEvent(QEvent *event) function ,but I can't switch the language ,what 's wrong with me .
    Here is my code structure :

    @
    CGameStartMenu::CGameStartMenu(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent)
    {
    NewButton = new QPushButton(tr("New Game"));
    OptionButton = new QPushButton(tr("Language"));

    translator=new QTranslator(this);
    translator->load ("zh.qm");

    retranslate ();
    changeLanguage ();
    

    }

    void CGameStartMenu::changeEvent (QEvent *event)
    {
    if(event->type ()==QEvent::LanguageChange)
    {
    retranslate ();
    }
    QWidget::changeEvent (event);

    }

    void CGameStartMenu::retranslate ()
    {
    NewButton->setText (tr("New Game"));
    OptionButton->setText (tr("Language"));

    }

    void CGameStartMenu::changeLanguage ()
    {
    // translator=new QTranslator(this);
    // translator->load ("zh");
    qApp->installTranslator (translator);
    }
    @

    Thank you !
    My regards!

      Probably because you install the translator (#11) after you retranslate your application (#10).

        This "FAQ":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_dynamically_switch_between_languages_in_my_application_using_e.g_ contains a complete example that illustrates how you can implement dynamic translation. You can follow the setup from that example to see if that helps getting the translation to work.
