    I have an Application that uses an external widget, written by me though, but its a standalone project and is used as library by my application. My Application is translated using qt5_create_translation and qt5_add_translation which creates translation files that I load via
    QTranslator::load. This external widget has some UI Strings that I would like to translate, ideally together with the rest of my application. Is there any solution to achieve this or do I need to manage two translation files for every language, one for my application and one for the external widget?

      When you've the sources of the external lib it is possible to create a ts file for them, otherwise it's not possible.

        @Christian-Ehrlicher I do have the source but the lib is a dependency which is built and installed already when my application is being compiled. So that basically means I need two sets of ts files, no way in managing it in a single ts file per language?

          At least it's much easier to have two.
