StatusLabel(const QString & text, QWidget * parent = 0, Qt::WindowFlags f = 0);
virtual ~StatusLabel();

void setStatus(const status s);

void translate();

private:
status m_status;
};
@

This is the implementation of the translate method

@void StatusLabel::translate()
{
switch (m_status)
{
case STOPPED:
setText(tr("Stopped"));
break;
case LIVE:
setText(tr("Live"));
break;
case HISTORICAL:
setText(tr("Historical"));
break;
}
}
@

And is called from my main window -

@m_statusLabel->translate();@

However the string is translated

I think this has do with the context
In Linguist the strings are associated with the StatusLabel context and if I directly call the translator with this context I get the translated string.

Could someone explain when Qt changes the context when translating strings and why my original implementation does not work

Thanks very much
