CMake based app with translation files

aatwo

Hi all. I have a cmake based project I am testing out translation files with.

I am using the following CMake code to compile and copy my .ts tranlsation files to my build folder in .qm form.

set(TRANSLATION_FILES
    translations/ui/translation-english.ts
    translations/ui/translation-french.ts
)
set_source_files_properties(${TRANSLATION_FILES} PROPERTIES OUTPUT_LOCATION "translations/ui")
qt5_add_translation(QM_FILES ${TRANSLATION_FILES})

...

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${SOURCES} ${HEADERS} ${QM_FILES})

This was strung together using the example code from here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtlinguist-cmake-qt5-add-translation.html) and works great when building from within Qt Creator and the files are placed here:

<app-exe-output-folder>/tranlsations/ui/

However, when building from within Visual Studio the build goes into a Release subfolder while my .qm translation files do not. So it looks something like this...

<output-folder>/tranlsations/ui/tranlsation-english.qm
<output-folder>/tranlsations/ui/tranlsation-french.qm
<output-folder>/Release/MyApp.exe

Is it possible for the Visual studio build to drop the qm files into the Release subfolder without breaking the Qt creator build?

I.e. the following structure instead:

<output-folder>/Release/tranlsations/ui/tranlsation-english.qm
<output-folder>/Release/tranlsations/ui/tranlsation-french.qm
<output-folder>/Release/MyApp.exe
