QT - Read translator file .ts/.qm on translations.qrc file

lele86

Hi guys, I'm trying to import translator file on my qt project (QT 5.6 on linux system), but I can't upload translation file because "load" function of "QTranslator" returns always "false".

I have the following project structure:

Project root: /
/resources/translations.qrc
/resources/translations/app_it .qm and .ts
/resources/translations/app_en .qm and .ts
...

In main.cpp file of qt application I have the following source code:

QTranslator *translator = new QTranslator();
bool isFileTranslatorLoaded = translator->load(":/translations/translations/app_it);

isFileTranslatorLoaded always returns false.

File translations.qrc:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/translations">
        <file>translations/app_it.ts</file>
        <file>translations/app_it.qm</file>
        <file>translations/app_en.ts</file>
        <file>translations/app_en.qm</file>
    <qresource>
<RCC>

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in Advice

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You are passing an invalid path. You only need the processed version .qm there's no need for the *.ts files.

I have followed your suggestions but isFileTranslatorLoaded returns always false. In c++ code I wrote bool "isFileTranslatorLoaded = translator->load(":/translations/appit.qm");" and my resource file is:

<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/translations" lang="it">
<file alias="appit.qm">translations/app_it.qm</file>
</qresource>
<qresource prefix="/translations" lang="en">
<file alias="appen.qm">translations/app_en.qm</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

I don't know why the .qm file isn't loaded. It seems that the resource file is not loaded in the main.cpp file.

Thanks in advice.

Because you are using lang="it" this means that the file is only available if your locale is Italian. See the resources chapter in Qt's documentation for a more thorough explanation.

Hi @SGaist , This doesn't work for me as well. I tried with using lang=en, lang=ar and without the lang attribute.
