QTranslator loaded but no translation is done for QWidget object.

GPX_Pli

hi
I am learning a bit on the translation of the application. I managed to do it with UI designer, but as to those not-UI object, I couldn't translation the text, like the label or button and so on. But the simple code I wrote can translate the content in the QMessageBox. So could someone have a look and tell me the problem.? and I still not don't know what is the difference between UI object and QWidget object when doing language translation.

Thanks!!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can see how it's done in the Dynamic Translation part of the internationalization doc.

The method described there is done for you when you use a designed built widget.
