Convert specific words of Qt after translate back to native language at runtime

[tham]

Parts of the words like "bird", "animal", "cat" are translated to another language(assumed it as chinese) at runtime, but when I am doing some condition check, I need them to remain as English. Is there a way to translate chinese back to English(ask Qt do not translate it) when doing condition check?

std::vector<QString> const target{tr("bird"), tr("cat")};
//do somehting

//need to keep target[obj_type::bird] return "bird" but not "鳥" only when I do the comparison
if(key == target[obj_type::bird]){ 
    //do something
}

thanks

@tham You should not use strings in this case. Enum would be better.

@jsulm Sadly, need more codes in this case. Thanks
