QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP translation not triggered?

mbruel

Hi,
I'm having few static variables defined in an Object using QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP.

in header:
    static const char *sFolderMonitoringName;
    static const char *sQuickJobName;


in cpp:
const char *NgPost::sFolderMonitoringName = QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("NgPost", "Auto Posting");
const char *NgPost::sQuickJobName         = QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("NgPost", "Quick Post");

So then in my MainWindow::changeEvent(QEvent *event) that is triggered each time a translator is installed, I'm trying to use those static members to some texts but it's not working...
Any idea why?

void MainWindow::changeEvent(QEvent *event)
{
    if(event)
    {
        QTabBar *tabBar = _ui->postTabWidget->tabBar();
        switch(event->type()) {
        // this event is send if a translator is loaded
        case QEvent::LanguageChange:
            _ui->retranslateUi(this);

            tabBar->setTabText(0, tr(_ngPost->sQuickJobName));
            tabBar->setTabText(1, tr(_ngPost->sFolderMonitoringName));
...

Of course their text are in the ts file, and I've provided a translation in other languages.
If I were not using those static member variable but somethink like

tabBar->setTabText(0, tr("my title"));

It is working...

I'm using QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP in other places and it's working perfectly.
Am I missing something?
Cheers

The namespace is wrong, you're calling tr from the MainWindow.

oh it has to be on the same namespace... I thought it would pick it up from the object being used...
Cheers man, I just did some accessors and it's working perfectly!
