hi @divaindie
Qt has a couple of macros for that. in cpp you have tr("Your text goes in here") and in qml it is qsTr("Your text goes here")

That way you can write your code in one language only, and once your finished, you extract those texts and create translations for them. Those can than be loaded at runtime later on.

For more information check the docu:

basically i want have multi language feature ? i read about internationalization but i didn't understand how it works.also somewhere people mentioned about " QTextCodec" ,iam not able to figure out which one is better.
also i want to know what are all the options available to achieve this?

As @J-Hilk has pointed you to.
Wrt QTextCodec, that is just for dealing with text encodings, e.g. Western European languages use a different encoding from Asian ones. In itself QTextCodec has absolutely nothing to do with translating strings from one language to another, so it's not some kind of "alternative" to doing the translation work. For that you still need tr(literal-string) macro or the https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtranslator.html class for dynamic look-up.
