QCoreApplication::translate() versus QObject::tr() versus tr()

[Perdrix]

Up to now I have used tr() macro for translatable string in classes that derived from QObject and used the QOBJECT macro. For non QObject code I have used QCoreApplication::translate() specifying a "context".

I just now encountered code that uses QObject::tr() - does that effectively do the same as QCoreApplication::translate with a context of "QObject"?

Thanks

Yes. Q_OBJECT macro adds a static tr function to the class that just calls QMetaObject::tr from the staticMetaObject of that class and that calls QCoreApplication::translate() with the class name as the context, so calling static QObject::tr will have a context of "QObject".
