    The translations at /usr/share/program/translations must be at .ts format or .qm format?

      .qm

      .ts format for developers (translation source)
      .qm format for end users (translation binary)

        You need only qm files in runtime. ts files are used to translate. at runtime you want to load translated data.
        Also notice that there is no magic with /usr/share/program/translations. that was just a suggestion. you could put your translations in every other location...

            The .qm files can also be included as resources, too.

              I am thinking of having english greek dutch and french language at my program.. Should i have a combobox with this 4 languages only ( using the resource file) or should i check for file existences at the path that i have my translations and then add them to the combobox?

                Second way sounds better - this allow your users adding new languages for your app without re-compilation.
                of course if your public .ts file.

                  Yes but who would do that? I think i will go with the first one and if anyone translate my app i will add the language at another version.. :)

                    Hello again! What do you suggest? After the language has been changed ( at a combobox probably ) instantly everything change to the language you selected with "this way":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_dynamically_switch_between_languages_in_my_application_using_e.g_ or change the language after you restart the application?

                      What I did was this:

                      1- Create a proxy subclass of QDialog named ProxyDialog wich have only one method: retranslateUI()
                      2- Subclass all dialogs from ProxyDialog
                      3- When you need to translate UI, just iterate over children of type ProxyDialog* and call retranslate UI for all of them. this is possible using findChildren function.

                        So you suggest that i should translate everything instantly?

                          Yes. I'm not sure if there is a better way or not, but I looked around a lot and couldn't fount anything.
                          This works well for my applications.
                          You don't have to restart your application to see translation results. All open dialogs will be translated on-the-fly.
