Qt id based translation

Valerian

Is it possible to use id based translation for non-qt classes?

Paul Colby

You should be able to use QCoreApplication::translate directly to translate for any "context" (eg class name), regardless of whether or not its a Qt-based class. Though I'm not sure how that would work with Qt Linguist tools such as lupdate.

Cheers.

Thanks @Paul
Is there a way to use qtTrId() to translate string?

Is there a way to use qtTrId() to translate string?

I don't see any reason why not, but I'm not at all familiar with Qt Linguist's Text ID Based Translations.

I did notice this though:

Note: You must use only plain-text-based or only text-ID-based functions in one application. If you mix them, you will end up with an incomplete set of texts to be translated.

Cheers.

@Paul Thanks for the inputs.

One more query, so when I change the language do I have to manually reset all the text in the application?

Hi
Yes for all Widgets not inserted via UI file,
you must make a function that sets the texts again.
Sadly its not live :)

@Wieland any advice regarding updating the qml files on switching translators when using qsTrId approach?
