Hi,
I have to localize texts inside a library using qt. Setting up and using lupdate and lrelease from inside buildsystem works perfect.
But two questions:
1. Where I have to install the localized files so qt will find them? (Linux/Unix). For first I used /usr/share/<libname>/i18n/ as target folder.
2. How may I load this translations inside library? is this possible without knowledge about the calling application or has the application load the translation for this library?

Anywhere you want - you'll tell Qt where to look for them when requesting the translations. You can even embed the translations into the library itself.Quote:

A - and how do I qt tell this? I looked trough documentation but didn't see any point "Load translations from this location".Quote:

Ok, constructor of main interface looks like a good idea for this...Quote:
