Unsolved Translate OK button in French

[mpergand]

Hi all,

The "OK" buttons are not properly translate in French for Dialogs and MessageBox (in all Qt 5 versions as far as I know)

It should be "Confirmer"

How can I change that ?
Thanks.

Hi
I thought French was very complete so i wonder why its not already translated or
its something else.
You should/could check the translation qm file

@mpergand From the Qt translations source code, it looks like OK is OK for the one that translated Qt to French at some point in time. All *_fs.ts files are 3 year old now...
You can take a look here about how to contribute to update/improve Qt translations.

Answering just as a french rather than as a programmer here: "OK" is perfectly standard and understandable in french. We use it all the time, and most applications will use it as well.
"Confirmer" is simply french for "Confirm", so it's close to the meaning of "ok", but not exactly the same.
I think the best translation for "ok" is just "ok".

In Italy and Spain it is the same.
"Ok" is "Ok".

German is similar, except we normally capitalize the 'K', i.e. 'OK'.
