Qt Linguist can't find some words

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem using Qt linguist. I don't know why the name of the QToolButton I create in the .cpp are not found when i generate the .ts file. This is the code I'm talking about:

addCanali = new QToolButton(ui->toolBar);
    addCanali->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);
    addCanali->setIcon(QIcon(":/rec/img/wave_amplify_frequency.png"));
    addCanali->setStyleSheet("background-color:black; color:white");
    addCanali->setText("Channels");                //this is the word I have to translate
    addCanali->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
    ui->toolBar->addWidget(addCanali);
connect(addCanali, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(on_actionCanale_triggered()));

To create the .ts file I followed this tutorial. Basically the steps are:

1- Open MinGw command line
2 - Go to your project folder
3- lupdate -pro yourappname.pro -ts Italian.ts

To add some more information, the File .cpp where these words are is under a .pri file, I don't know if maybe this can cause some issues while creating the .ts file.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

@davidesalvetti said in Qt Linguist can't find some words:

addCanali->setText("Channels");

shouldn't it be

addCanali->setText(tr("Channels"));

?

@jsulm yes, my mistake. I'm sorry. I just read this from Docs. Thanks a lot!
