Question on translations and .ts files

Marc_Van_Daele

My current .ts file looks like

<context>
    <name>A</name>
    <message>
        <location filename="A.qml" line="10"/>
        <source>History</source>
        <translation>Historique</translation>
    </message>

I note that qsTr("History")

translates fine in A.qml, line 10
translates fine in A.qml, any other line
does not translate in B.qml (there is no entry yet in the .ts file for B)

Is this expected behavior?

@Marc_Van_Daele said in Question on translations and .ts files:

Is this expected behavior?

yes it is,

each source file (c++ or qml) has it's own contextblock

by running lupdate on your project, a context block will be created for b . Then there will be an automatic check for similar heuristics, and the translation in A will be detected and preselected for you.

IIRC running lrelease now will result in A and B being correctly translated, even without confirming the preselected translation before via (Qt)Linguist

Thanks for confirming and explaining!
