change character size automatically with longer translations in QtLinguist

louis

Hey,

i am currently working with qtLinguist in my (qt-qml-)Project. I do have a problem with translated strings that exceeds my scopes.

Is there a way to change text sizes if the translation exceeds a number of pixles (or characters).

If not, is there any way to highlight translated strings that are to long in qtLinguist so i can choose another translation for all the string that are to long?

regards
louis

Hi,

Do you mean elide your texts ?

louis

No, I want to show the whole text but in a smaller pixelSize

SGaist

You would have to do that by hand using e.g. QFontMetrics to get the size of your text for a given font size

Hope it helps

what i now do is:

    TextMultiLine
    {
      ...
      width: 466
      height: 75
      font.pixelSize: lineCount > 1 ?  30 : 40
      maximumLineCount: 2
      wrapMode: Text.Wrap
      elide: Text.ElideRight
    }

this does fix the Problem*.
*But there can be of corse a binding loop because lineCount can be 2 with pixlesize 40 and 1 with a smaler linecount. I guess this is ok for me

i just found fontSizeMode: Text.VerticalFit. This will try to fix sizes
