Translator: Can I switch to input language as a translation?
-
Hello to all,
is there a way to load the original input language with the translator?
Meaning, I have defined translatable texts for labels in QtDesigner and directly in the code in English. I've created a .ts file for German and from that, using QtLinguist, a .qm file. Now I can install German translations using the .qm file and switch to English by unloading it, again. But, of course, English is not being translated. Thus, texts like
tr("%n measurement(s) saved", 0, n)
are not translated, so the singular/plural forms are not automatically changed. Is there a way to load the input language ("English" in my case) with the translator without having to create a dedicated .qm file using lupdate, QtLinguist and lrelease?
Kind regards,
Markus

IIRC the strings in
tr( )are meant to be IDs, and therefore they are not meant to be printed at all in a released product. Therefore I don't think you can skip the creation of a qm file for English, even if you've written nice English sentences in thetr()statements. -
Thanks for your answer, JohanSolo!
Greetings,
Markus
