How to get a string's translation with the context ignored?

Vadi2

I'd like to translate a string while ignoring the context of it, but QCoreApplication::translate("", sourceText.toUtf8().constData()) isn't cutting it. Any ideas on what would work?

Hi
You mean like

QString FriendlyConversation::greeting(int type)
{
    static const char *greeting_strings[] = {
        QT_TR_NOOP("Hello"),
        QT_TR_NOOP("Goodbye")
    };
    return tr(greeting_strings[type]);
}

If they are stored with a context, im not sure its possible to ignore context on fetching as
that would collapse the structure.

Hm, okay. I'll try sand see if the mailing list has any ideas :)
