Translate strings with HTML tags

[shreya_agrawal]

This is my string which is being set on a label:

ui->label->setText(tr("Sample Text<br/>"));

This is how I translate it in .ts file:

<message>
        <source>Sample Text&lt;br/&gt;</source>
        <translation>Sample Translation</translation>
</message>

But, the translation is not successful.
I have confirmed that my context is right and that the text is translated on removing the HTML tag.
I also tried with the following two source texts, but it didn't translate:

<source>Sample Text<br/></source>
<source>Sample Text</source>

What about

setText(QString(tr("Sample Text") + QString("<br>")));

?

Unless there is a better way.

Thank you for your reply !

The text to be set is dynamic in nature. The text is sent via a signal which then calls the slot for setting the text.
I tried this approach too:

emit mySignal(tr("Sample Text") + QString("<br/>"))

void mySlot(QString text)
{
    ui->label->setText(text); // Also ui->label->setText(tr(text));
}

But, it is still not working.

Wait, do you write the .ts file by hand, or do you use lupdate?

@IgKh
I was initially using lupdate, but didn't since last few translations.

And I understood my mistake, the context has to be the class emitting the signal, not the one containing the slot.
