Problem with arg at QString.

Downloaded! What about the problem?

Hint : get rid of those "+" symbols in your string!
that's why you get those results as I explained already

Yes but if get rid of "+" then the whole thing will be translatable.. I want only the "In random order" part to be..

P.S The second edition of the book is better? And the second is the one that is not free?

Try the same without those plusses and you will see youself.
Tr() cannot translate as you think when those plusses are there. Read the book and it will be all clear to you.

It's almost the same. The first one is free as the webpage tells you.

Tr() will translate only the “In random order” part even if there are plusses.. I just checked it..
I just removed every "+" exactly the same problem. :/

@QString written = QString(tr("In random order%1%2%3%4%5%6%7%8")).arg(":\n").arg("Leon Vytanos <").arg("<a >%1%2%3%4%5</a>").arg("leon.check.me@gmail.com").arg(">\nAlex Solanos <").arg("<a >").arg("alexsol.developer@gmail.com").arg(">");

can you please use my example instead and tell me what you see.?

one more try :
you use one looooong QString and AT THE END you put the arg() one after another. Don't put the arg() in between.

Ok look the code.. I removed the %1%2%3%4%5 because it was wrong.. So this should work..

@QString written = QString(tr("In random order%1%2%3%4%5%6%7")).arg(":\nLeon Vytanos <").arg("<a >").arg("leon.check.me@gmail.com").arg(">\nAlex Solanos <").arg("<a >").arg("alexsol.developer@gmail.com").arg(">");

I putted the outpout at tomboy notes and it look like this.. "SCREENSHOT":http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/8437/screenshot4rp.png

for instance :
@.arg("<a >")@

Do you need to translate this ?

@<a>")@

you should put everything in one string except the parts you want translated. put them in the arg()

i suggest you look at my example and experiment with it. Try to understand it. Read the books chapter.

I got it but same problem..

@QString written = QString(tr("In random order%1")).arg(":\nLeon Vytanos <<a >leon.check.me@gmail.com>\nAlex Solanos <<a >alexsol.developer@gmail.com>");
@

The book at that point doesn't say anything more than what you have already told me..

Now it's ok. It's your html syntax that's wrong.

It seems like the textbrowzer has a different type of html.. so i finally found a solution and it is:

@ QString written = QString("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"><html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><style type="text/css">p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }</style></head><body font-family:'Ubuntu'; font-size:11pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;">%1%2").arg(tr("In random order")).arg(":Leon Vytanos <<a >leon.check.me@gmail.com</a>>Alex Solanos <<a >alexsol.developer@gmail.com</a>></body></html>");
@

But the
@ QString written = QString("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">@
part if i remove it there will be no problem, Should it be with or without this line?
